According to the Military Summary Channel, this was hit along with another space radar facility in southern Russia. According to MSC, these radars were part of Russia’s early nuclear warning system. If this is true, this is the most reckless escalation of all. The nightmare scenario just won’t go away.

Couldn’t have happened without direct NATO recon and targeting, and likely operation of the missile system to strike at a nuke early warning radar system.
