Pilots of the Unmanned Systems Forces together with specialists of the Special Operations Forces destroyed a Russian “Kasta” radar station in occupied Zaporizhz

This was reported on March 2 by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major Robert Brovdi (“Madyar”).

He called the destroyed radar a fierce enemy of Ukrainian pilots working at tactical and operational depths.

The “Kasta” radar was hunted down by pilots of the 1st Unmanned Systems Center and the Special Operations Forces’ “Balista” unit. The strike was delivered by small strike front-attack drones under reconnaissance by pilots of the 414th “Madyar’s Birds” drone brigade in cooperation with the Deep Strike Coordination Center.

The “Kasta” 35N6 radar is a two-unit air-defense complex, a two-coordinate self-propelled station for airspace control, determining coordinates of aerodynamic targets at extremely low altitudes, and air-traffic control.

“Kasta” can detect up to 20 aerial targets per minute at very low altitudes up to 100 m at a range of 44 km, and up to 6000 m at a range of 115 km.

Its destruction will significantly ease the work of Ukrainian pilots.
