Operators from the “Alastor” unit of Ukraine’s 25th Airborne Sicheslav Brigade successfully detected and destroyed a Russian “Enot ” radar system that was actively targeting Ukrainian drones, according to a video published on April 8 by one of the drone pilots involved in the operation.
“The enemy is trying to replicate our use of anti-air drones,” the pilot wrote.
“They’ve started deploying their ‘Enot’ radar to the front lines. It can spot a Mavic drone at a distance of 1,800 meters and a reconnaissance wing-type drone up to 4 kilometers away. But none of that saved the Enot from our drone.”
Earlier, reports emerged that Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian Tu-22M3 long-range strategic bomber, valued at approximately $100 million, using a drone.
“The Tu-22M3 landed—and our drone struck it,” Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said, highlighting the bold and precise nature of the operation.
