The Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted a series of precision strikes against Russian military targets in multiple locations, focusing on degrading the Russian Federation’s air defense and radar capabilities, according to an official statement by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on July 21.
The statement reported that Ukrainian forces successfully struck a Russian S-400P surface-to-air missile system in the Belgorod region. The attack, carried out using long-range strike capabilities, “significantly reduced the area covered by Russian long-range air defense systems in the region,” the General Staff said.
In the same area, Ukrainian forces also targeted a “Nebo-M” radar system. According to the statement, the strike critically impaired the radar’s functionality and diminished the operational capacity of a nearby 5N66M “Big Bird” radar station.
“These coordinated strikes significantly weaken the Russian air defense system, reduce the enemy’s ability to cover its forces and infrastructure, and support the operations of Ukrainian units,” the General Staff noted.
The statement emphasized that such actions are aimed at undermining Russia’s ability to conduct offensive operations and maintain its occupation of Ukrainian territory.
“The degradation of these systems directly supports our broader efforts to limit the Russian Federation’s capacity to wage aggressive war and attack civilian infrastructure,” the statement reads.
The General Staff concluded by reaffirming Ukraine’s commitment to continued operations targeting critical Russian military systems:
“Ukraine will continue to carry out such strikes until the occupiers end their invasion, Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored, and a just and lasting peace is achieved.”
Previously, Ukrainian drone operators from the 424th Svarog Battalion of the Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed a rare Russian electronic warfare system known as the KOP-2.
