This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukrainian forces struck an expensive, new Russian counter-battery radar system with rockets on the same day military officials announced its deployment to the battlefield.
These systems allow for each military to detect incoming projectiles and quickly pinpoint the origin point, paving way for a return of fire before enemy guns are moved.
At one point over the summer, Western intelligence even estimated that Russia was suffering from a “worsening shortage” of these systems, and said the “survivability” of Moscow’s military depended on its defense against Ukrainian artillery.
The significance of these counter-battery systems was underscored by the Russian defense ministry and state media on Tuesday shortly before Moscow lost its prized Yastreb-AV.
While Ukraine’s strike on the Yastreb-AV did not come amid any significant battlefield movements, Tuesday saw Russian forces launch a massive missile and drone attack at military and civilian targets across the country, killing at least five people and injuring more than 120 others.
Meanwhile, Britain’s defense ministry noted in a Wednesday intelligence update that by increasing the intensity of its long-range aerial campaign against Ukraine over the past few days, Russia has committed a “significant portion” of the missile stockpile that it had built up in recent months, raising some questions about the sustainability of such attacks.
