The Russian military has destroyed another Israeli-made Improved and Enhanced Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar (ieMHR) of Kiev forces.
On July 14, the Russian Ministry of Defense shared footage of the strike on the radar, which was deployed somewhere in the Kharkiv direction. The pinpoint strike was carried out by the 1st Guards Tank Army of the Zapad [West] Group of Forces. The unit used a Supercam reconnaissance drone to locate the radar, then targeted it with a Lancet loitering munition.
The Supercam is a series of reconnaissance drones produced by the company carrying the same name. The most common model, the S350, has an endurance of 4,5 hours with a range of up to 100 kilometers.
Meanwhile, the Lancet was developed by the ZALA Aero Group, a subsidiary of Russia’s defense giant Kalashnikov Concern. The company produces two versions of the loitering munition, the Izdeliye-52 with an endurance of 30 minutes and a one-kilogram warhead and the larger Izdeliye-51 that has an endurance of 40 minutes and is armed with a warhead weighing three kilograms.
The loitering munition flies towards the designated area with a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system. After arriving in the area, the operator utilizes an onboard electro-optical system via a two-way data-link to detect, track and lock on the target. A laser-ranging system then controls the detonation of the warhead.
The ieMHR was developed by Israel’s RADA Electronic Industries to provide hemispheric surveillance. The system can operate as a part of counter-drone and short-range air defense systems or operate as a stand-alone counter-rocket, artillery and mortar radar.
The compact active electronically scanned array radar has a maximum detection range of up to 100 kilometers for large transport aircraft. It can detect smaller fighter jets from 65 kilometers and medium-sized drones from 45 kilometers. As for projectiles like rockets, artillery and mortars, the detection range is between 10-14 kilometers.
Around two years ago, the Kiev force received at least 16 ieMHR systems from Lithuanian, 12 installed on stationary bases and four on high-mobility vehicles. The radars were reportedly purchased from Israel for more than $14 millions.
Most of the ieMHR radar systems supplied to Kiev forces have been already damaged or destroyed by the Russian military.

pitiful russians. the truth is that they don’t have that many tactical ballistic, cruise, hypersonic missiles, or oreshniks. the bulk of their attacks are done by loud, low & slow drones with a puny 90 lb warhead & 95% of them are destroyed. ukraine doesn’t even need expensive radars to intercept them. ukraine has a vast network of cheap & easy to replace passive acoustic drone detectors that don’t emit signals & are just as effective as radar when hunting russian drones.
pitiful is the clown who takes shekels to imagine false realities….
(don’t forget to save up for adult diapers, u will need them)
swallow too much jizz in gay san fagcisco bar make you effective homo
good lord…
what planet do you live on, bro?
if that were the case, how come the flight paths go all the way across ukraine to the polish border? that’s even in their own media. not very smart, are you?
go for it, increase aid to iran, set up joint war rooms inside russia. this is a world war, all fronts must coordinate, be it yemen, iran, russia, china, to pull apart the washington axis and put an end to american evil
😂👍🏼
israel has no real industry that isn’t military or security . so why is this ?
