Ukrainian missile forces hit Russian Nebo-M radar with American ATACMS missiles, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.

"Units of the missile forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully struck the Russian Nebo-M radar with ATACAMS ballistic missiles. Its destruction significantly reduces the ability of the Russian army to detect, track and intercept aerodynamic and ballistic targets," the AFU General Staff said in a statement on Facebook.

It is reported that the Nebo-M radar is a pretty difficult target to hit, operating in stealth mode, scanning the horizon in search of airborne objects. It is indicated that, according to available information, the enemy has only ten operational systems of this type left, the cost of each of which is estimated at more than $100 million. The destruction of the Nebo-M radar will create a favorable "air corridor" for the effective use of Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG cruise missiles.
