Ukrainian strike on Russian nuclear radar system causes alarm in West
The Telegraph ^ | Sun, May 26, 2024 | James Kilner

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.

I’d peg you for an anti Reagan America hater from the 80’s.

I'll bet Mistress Vicky Nuland is pegging you, and you're loving it...

Join hands with satan and enjoy the destruction of this beautiful world the lord has made for ALL of us.

Russia has been hitting Ukraine cities on a daily basis at mostly civilian targets with their missile now for over two years and if Ukraine hits back at a military target inside Russia the Putridnistas on FR have a fit.

Why am I not surprised?

“No mention of why this causes “alarm in the west”. Clickbait”

See, we gave the Ukrainians targeting data for the facility and, alarmingly, their missiles were at least six inches off target.

Do you actually believe what you say.

The installation not only can track missiles launched from around the globe, but also missiles ie atacms launched from Ukraine.

To leave that operational is no different than leaving s-300/400/500 systems operational

But you know that

No need to get alarmed - there is nothing the Russians can do about it anyway - there are some who will say they have nukes - yes, but they cannot use then per agreement with Xi Jinping during the final document signing in Beijing between Putin and Xi. Xi banned their use and forced Vladimir Vladimirovich to agree.
