Direct speech of Brigadier Colonel Oleksandr Popov: “We found and destroyed a lot. But I am happy that these objects cannot be restored or made from scratch, even in a year. Because it does not matter how much these complexes cost. It is important that restoring them is very technologically difficult and takes a long time. This is actually the value of our work.
And a lot of different such means have already burned. And EWs, and super-fashionable radar stations. There were also developments in 2023, which have not yet gone into production, but we were already destroying them.”
Details: At the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion, pilots and drones were in short supply, so the main mission of artillery reconnaissance was to control the contact line. But as of the summer of 2024, the infantry units at the front are so saturated with their own short-range reconnaissance UAVs that the Black Forest pilots were able to focus on work in the deeper rear of the enemy.
Art scouts call this low deep strike (30 kilometers and beyond). “Black Forest” focused on the priority targets – the enemy’s anti-aircraft defense.
As told in the material, the story of the defeat of the Russian development of 2023, the experimental over-the-horizon detection radar “Predel-E” demonstrated several interesting nuances of the new war.
First of all, the very fact of the destruction of such a radar, which failed to see the drone above it and calmly waited for the missile that burned it, says a lot about the quality of the development.
Secondly, it is an understanding of how dangerous it can be to want to quickly brag about the results during such operations.
The scouts have not yet managed to land the plane, and the video has already been published online. The next day, “black-leaved” destroyed “Buk” and also this video was instantly published. After that, the Russians realized how important it was, and in a week they destroyed three reconnaissance “planes” from the “S-400” installations.
