S-400 Radar 96L6 Destroyed by Drone in Belgorod
Video Summary
A recent strike on a 96L6 radar system in Belgrade, Serbia has raised questions about Russia’s tactics in deploying some of its air defense systems. The radar system, part of the S-400 air defense system, was parked alongside trees, without any apparent attempt to hide it. The radar system is designed to be deployed up to 100 km away from the launchers, which may have been the reason it was not integrated with the rest of the S-400 battery. This tactic has been observed in recent Russian air defense operations, where the radar systems are deployed separately from the launchers to reduce communication disruptions and improve their effectiveness.
The strike on this radar system, which was hit by a Ukrainian drone, may have been motivated by the fact that Russia has been experiencing a shortage of radar systems. The S-400 system has typically been deployed with a network of radars, but Russia may have had to resort to deploying individual radars from the system to make up for the losses. The effectiveness of the Ukrainian drone’s attack and the isolated deployment of the radar system may have been a deliberate tactic to increase the radar’s survivability. The incident highlights the evolving nature of the conflict in Ukraine, where both sides are adapting their tactics to gain an advantage.
