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.

No mention of why this causes “alarm in the west”. Clickbait
“Ukrainian strike”
LOL, as if hitting a Nuclear Early Warning Station in Russia would provide any benefit to Ukraine in this war.
But it would provide a significant benefit to an entity planning to start World War 3, but to avoid insulting Ukraine Cheerleaders, I won’t say the term ‘Neocon’, as that’s too inflammatory.
Meanwhile Vlad is edging closer to the “Launch Nuke” button.
Zeeper is the word you are searching for.
It’s Ok: Zeepers will blame Russia for what comes next.
/s
If Russia is blinded to incoming missiles, they are more likely to fear missiles are incoming and react in a big way.
The sooner we get out of Ukraine, the better. Our crooked government is trying to get us in a war with Russia.
American adults in Washington would put a stop to this insanity.
Bring it on then. I’m with being with Jesus and God preferably in the rapture before the tribulation. Let’s get it on
It’s not all about you.
Yep. Munitions makers and the WEF who own far too many congresscrits are now popping champagne corks.
Get yourself right with Jesus and you’ll be ready
Even though NATO provides all the intelligence and targeting, approves targets and often operates these Western systems - here comes the nonsense “plausible deniability.”
Maybe that is exactly the plan, since a war with Russia could destroy America, which is exactly what the liberals want.
“American adults in Washington would put a stop to this insanity.”
Unfortunately most of the Zeepers are also NeverTrumpers, regardless of how much they try to claim otherwise. They’re VERY HAPPY with Biden bringing us to the brink of WW3 and so they’ll do what they can to get Biden re-elected.
“Maybe that is exactly the plan, since a war with Russia could destroy America, which is exactly what the liberals want.”
That is EXACTLY what today’s Zeepers wanted when I was in college with them, so your theory makes sense at that level, and also makes sense considering their continued support for escalation.
You talk like an idiot. The reason for the strike is explained clearly in the article.
You were in college with them? Wow you get around.
Assuming you were not in college recently, what you are saying is that you have always been a radical Anti American communist,
And in college you hated and feared patriotic Americans who supported the defense of American interests.
I’d peg you for an anti Reagan America hater from the 80’s.
