An attack on a Luhansk airfield on Tuesday using U.S.-supplied missiles may have struck Russia's Nebo-M radar system.
Satellite images released in the aftermath of a strike in Ukraine's occupied Luhansk region suggest that Kyiv's forces targeted a Russian long-range radar system.The photos, dated May 10 and 28, are from California-based global imaging company Planet Labs. They were obtained by Radio Svoboda, the Russian service of the U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty on Tuesday, after a reported attack by Kyiv's forces using U.S.-supplied missiles on an airfield in Luhansk.
Radio Svoboda said that the satellite images show the consequences of the attack on the airfield of the Luhansk Higher Military Aviation School of Navigators. One photo dated May 28 shows traces of a huge fire; and a photo of the same location taken on May 10 shows parts of Russia's prized Nebo-M radar system. This is designed to detect aerodynamic and ballistic objects at medium and high altitudes.
