A Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian radar station that can track nuclear missiles has sparked alarm in the West.
Kyiv hit the Armavir radar station in the Krasnodar border region on May 23, damaging the state-of-the-art facility, which provides conventional air-defence as well as forming part of Moscow’s nuclear warning system.
Ukrainian officials confirmed on Saturday that their forces had carried out the strike, saying the facility monitors airspace over the country and occupied Crimea.
The radar station has reportedly been able to track long-range Atacms missiles, delivered by the US to Ukraine earlier this year.
Mauro Gilli, a senior researcher at the Centre for Security Studies at ETH Zurich, said the drone strike had been a tactical success because it will force Russia to redeploy air defence systems and it also put down a marker that no Russian military site was untouchable.

First of all I’m not a “Zeeper” just because I oppose Russian agression.
And a never Trumper?
Only in your dreams you America hating and I guarantee you are also a Trump hating communist .
One can see the Emotional Rage overtaking the Zeepers, particularly a certain female one.
Thankfully, REAL MEN run Russia, so decisions made by them will be carefully considered.
Another Brit MI6 printshop lauding the incredible stupidity of Nazi Ukraine and American NeoCons, for clicks.
“...REAL MEN run Russia...”
One man, a dictator, runs Russia. The ugly little leprechaun is on his third decade in power. He corrupted and violated the Russian constitution so he could keep his grubby hands in power. He is a faggy disgusting boy-kisser who builds himself palace complexes worth hundreds of millions of US dollars. He murdered both his two main opposition figures, Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalny. He keeps most larger Russian businesses under state-owned corporations controlled by oligarchs close to him. He is the same murderous KGB totalitarian that he has always been.
The reason for the strike is explained clearly in the article.
The article does not make clear that it is a good idea. It is plainly an idiotic idea of the United States.
Thord Are Iversen, a Norwegian military analyst, said striking a part of Russia’s nuclear warning system was “not a particularly good idea… especially in times of tension.”“It’s in everyone’s best interest that Russia’s ballistic missile warning system works well,” he said.
One can readilty see why Ukraine would consider blinding a ballistic missile site to be a Ukrainian priority. Because the United States told them to.
[But it would provide a significant benefit to an entity planning to start World War 3]
yep
Good. The name calling is stupid.
Like they say, once you come out with the name-calling, you have already lost the argument. It just comes up as desperation.
Right? Look at Posts 19, 20 and 22, for example. Good grief.
If a nation knocked out one of ours we’d worry. We’d also rebuild.
True.
Just another mile marker on the road to WW-III.

I’m glad you acknowledge that.

It would be to your eternal benefit to know Jesus.
