This strike is extremely confusing. It's a space radar thats only other use case is as an early-warning radar for ICBMs (that is, in the event of nuclear war).
Why is Ukraine going after Russia's nuclear triad? What the fuck is going on?
Where are you reading that is a radar for ICBMs? The article just says a Krasukha radar jammer is reported to be there. Reading the Wikipedia article for these systems indicate that they can jam the radar for UAVs and drones. Since Ukraine has been using drones heavily, I can see why they would attack. I’m not saying that it doesn’t work against ballistic missiles but it’s seems like they have a lot of other applications to Russia’s war effort.
Saying that a radar jammer is protecting Russia's nuclear triad is like... Well, obviously? Like, are you stupid, or are you just trying to justify nuclear war?
nuclear early warning system
If you’re going to come at me with a link about Ukraine, please make sure it’s from a website that’s not run by this guy:
Ben Aris: There’s a narrative in the mainstream media about, you know, "Stand with Ukraine and never report the negative stuff, only report the positive stuff." But people I deal with, professional investors in particular, they're interested in what's actually going on because they've got money in the game in the form of investments and assets.
I don’t think the negative stuff shouldn’t be reported but fuck him and his professional investor friends.
BTW: Ben Aris has controlling interest in the company that owns the link you shared and got his start in journalism in Moscow.
Thank you!
PS. if you did the looking up or just know it, just drop it down!
useful info
PS2. i did not confirm if this guy is right but i trust a bro lol
If you're going to discredit a link, please make sure that the statement itself is incorrect. You are being warned.
Kyiv Post also calls it an early warning radar complex: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/34782
