  1. I can just imagine the operators inside;
    “Comrade commissar, we have detected a projectile”
    “Good job, conscriptovich, figure out the trajectory while I run outside for a second to signal to our glorious leader”
    *Explosion*
    Many loud Blyats

  2. Looks like that thing was right in the middle of the shrapnel crescent.

    Counter battery radars are enormously important. Great shot. Love seeing these things get blown up because it directly preserves the lives of Ukrainian artillerymen.

  3. Why do the bother setting up in such an obvious and unprotected location? They must know by now that they’ll be spotted immediately.

  4. Well that’s definitely not a decoy lmao. Keep it up Ukraine, while Russia continues to hit decoys Ukraine will continue to destroy military equipment.

  5. Great job. No matter how deep Russian supply chains are, no country has infinite reserves of personnel and materiel. 👍🇺🇦

  6. Most sources peg the value of a Zoopark-1 counter-battery radar at $10-15 million, although Forbes says it’s $25 m. It uses an active EM signature to track its targets, which is also its key vulnerability to counter-counter-battery fire.

    Ukraine destroyed so many of these systems last year,* western military analysts were writing pieces last summer and fall on the system’s relative “scarcity” and concluding that it was “becoming rare”.

    The RuZZians also use an updated version, the Zoopark-2. One of those systems was destroyed in March of 2023. The “2” model is notably distinct from its predecessor: whereas the original was built on an MT-LB chassis, the “2” was built on a much longer GM-5951 chassis.

    Finally, Ukraine’s NVK Iskra has its own Zoopark update, the Zoopark-3 [formal name: 1L220UK counter-battery radar], which went into mass production in May 2020 and was accepted for service with the Ukrainian Army’s Ground Forces in March 2021.

    * In one notable incident in April 2022, the driver of a Zoopark-1 wrecked it by driving it into a bridge, lol. So just to be comprehensive and accurate as possible, I’ll say that Ukraine, with the one-off assist by RF soldier Ivan Alcoholic Fuckupov, has severely winnowed the Zoopark systems’ numbers.

  7. Warum platzieren die Orks so etwas auf freier Fläche ?

    Ist das Dummheit, oder Selbstüberschätzung ?
