The Ukrainian military, during the past few months, has destroyed at least four Russian Zoopark-1 counter-battery radar systems.
The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine showed footage of the damage to these radar systems.
“On the Day of Missile Forces and Artillery, we recall the most bright moments of joint operations to destroy the enemy,” the SOF said.
The video shows the hit of two 1L219 Zoopark-1 counter-battery radars and two 1L261 Zoopark-1M.
The first 1L219 Zoopark-1 radar was destroyed on July 16. The second similar radar was blasted on November 1 near the village of Panteleimonivka in the Donetsk region.
Two radars in the 1L261 Zoopark-1M version were hit in August 2023, with a difference of 20 days.
Russian radar systems were detected due to Ukrainian reconnaissance drones.
Neutralization of these systems makes it possible to facilitate the operations of Ukrainian artillery and air defense systems.
The 1L261 Zoopark-1M is a new modern Russian field-artillery acquisition reconnaissance radar that is capable of detecting artillery positions at a distance of up to 15 km, mortars – 20 km, MLRS – 30 km, and SRBM – 40 km.
The 1L261 radar chassis is based on a universal armored tracked chassis of the GМ-5955 manufactured by Mytishchi Machine-Building Plant.
The crew of the system consists of three people: a driver, a radar operator, and a commander.
Recall that in 2023, a destroyed Russian radar station of the Zoopark-1M system was discovered in the Kherson region.
