The objective of the recent operation was the Russian long-range radar system, identified as “Nebo-U,” which Ukrainian forces estimated was valued at approximately 100 million US dollars. This system is crucial for detecting and tracking long-range air targets, making it a vital component of Russia’s air defense and surveillance infrastructure. The Millerovo airfield, located approximately 170 kilometers from the active front lines, plays a significant role in Russia’s broader air campaign against Ukraine.
Ukrainian military reports indicate that Russian forces utilize this airfield for launching Shahed-type attack drones, alongside various other attacking and decoys unmanned aerial vehicles. These systems are reportedly deployed against targets across the eastern, central, and northern regions of Ukraine originating from Millerovo. Given its function in monitoring and defending against airborne threats, the “Nebo-U” radar system represents a key piece of Russian military technology.
Its value, estimated by Ukrainian sources at around 100 million dollars, underscores its strategic importance to the overall Russian air defense network. The deployment and targeting of such assets highlight the ongoing nature of the conflict’s focus on disrupting key military infrastructure deep behind the front lines.
