Satellite imagery confirms a Russian strategic early warning radar site in the southwestern end of the country was substantially damaged in a reported Ukrainian drone attack earlier this week. This looks to be a first-of-its-kind attack on a site linked to Russia's general strategic defense. As such, it points to a new and worrisome dimension to the conflict, especially when it comes to the potential use of nuclear weapons.
A satellite image taken on May 23 that The War Zone obtained from Planet Labs of the Armavir Radar Station in Russia's southwestern Krasnodar Krai shows significant debris around one of the site's two Voronezh-DM radar buildings. These are ultra-high-frequency (UHF) over-the-horizon (OTH) radars that are part of Russia's nuclear ballistic missile early warning system.

There is nothing Ukraine wants more than general war between the US and Russia.

I concur.
The Neocons targeting Nuclear Early Warning Systems in Russia is DEFINITELY something that goes well beyond trying to drive Russia out of what was once Ukraine, and will likely result in some VERY SERIOUS problems for the Neocons in the near future.
Not too smart for the Neocons to play their hand so early...as I expect it to be very costly for them.
Utter insanity for us to keep supporting this kind of thing. It’s almost like we are insisting Russia reacts with a first strike! This has to stop and soon. This is just crazy.
We were just discussing “The Russian Woodpecker” detection system on another thread. It was located right near Chernobyl.

I remember this vididly when I listened on shortwave.
Side note. IIRC, that antenna array is HUGE and it actually was used (with some CGI supplementation) in one of those stupid movies with Shalene Woodley (Divergent, Allegiant, Insurgent) that was supposed to be some kind of force-field/image projector.
Has Russia actually admitted that this alleged strike was successful?
Of course not, so this is merely more Rooskie propaganda designed to escalate things
IGNORE
Uke Nazis and NeoCons produce REAL stupidity when they get together.
If anyone bought Planet Labs PBC stock in 2020-21, they've lost about 80 percent of their purchase price. Currently about $1.90 a share. Was over $10 a couple of years ago.P>
This is the nuclear shield, the deterant, that these morons are screwing with. Under Russian military doctrine if Russia loses the ability to detect a Western first strike, because the enemy has destroyed their detection system, then they are justified to, and may launch their strategic nukes.
The Biden administration is stuffed with idiots.
“Has Russia actually admitted that this alleged strike was successful?”
Does it matter? The Neocons attacking this type of installation, that has NOTHING to do with the Ukraine conflict, speaks for itself.
I now expect the Neocons to burn in Hell, but unfortunately, so will the US.
“Well duh, if there was no strike, then you’re hyperventilating over nothing”
There’s no debate on the strike.
By the way, do you think that any Jews were killed in the Holocaust?
Russia has not confirmed any successful hits, all incoming missiles were shot down by Glorious Russian Air Defenses according to Russian Media
So, no strike
You’re panicking over nothing (again)
and you know this how?
This is not a good move using American weapons for this. The US maintains similar radar stations that can easily be attacked too.
What part of attacking STRATEGIC ASSETS of another country is not an act of war? The Neocons wanted a war, and they are now VERY LIKELY to get that war.
The next lesson they’ll learn is that there will be very little left of the West after exchanging nukes with Russia (the Neocon wet-dream), and perhaps the Neocons can hide effectively from the incoming H-Bombs, but they’ll find that their cell phones will no longer work and even if they did, their families won’t be around to answer them.
Jeez, calm down, Bob
Let me repeat - THERE WAS NO SUCH ATTACK
If there was, Russia would be confirming it
Can you find any story confirming this alleged attack?
Of course not, because there are none ... there was no attack
STOP PANICKING OVER NOTHING!
Obviously we do have people in our government who do share Ukraine ideology...,
and Ukraine Nazis in France now? Crazy Macronie is really pushing his luck. Just a tip of the iceberg stuff.....
