USA concerned by the Armed Forces on the "nuclear" Russian radar: what they answered in GUR MOU
However, Ukrainian intelligence explained that with the help of these devices, the Russians spied on rockets and UAVs that use defense forces. The reaction of US officials and comments of representatives of the General Intelligence Directorate (GUR Ministry of Defense) was written on the portal The Washington Post. Journalists spoke with anonymous interlocutors with the US and GUR Ministry of Defense. The Americans said they did not support the Russian systems of extinguished detection.
These systems are part of Russia's nuclear security and are not used in the Russian-Ukrainian war. Therefore, it was superfluous to launch long -range Ukrainian drones on them, giving on the portal the position of an unnamed official from Washington. "The United States is concerned about the recent strikes of Ukraine under Russian early warning points about ballistic missiles," he said.
The American explained that Voronezh-M settings are "sensitive places" because the Russian Federation used them to "US nuclear restraint". The White House "understands and sympathizes with Ukrainians" who suffer from Russian aggression. However, it emphasizes that the Kremlin may suspect that they try to weaken its nuclear shield. It is problematic that the Russian Federation suspects the United States, while the US has nothing to do with it, the WP interlocutor said.
"There is anxiety about how Russia can perceive that its means of restraint are goals, and early warning systems are attacked," the article reads. Meanwhile, the unnamed representative of the GUR, with whom WP journalists spoke, denied Washington's arguments. According to him, the Russians used systems to monitor the movement of Ukrainian missiles and drones. In this way, they are actually involved in the war and drones are justified.
"Russia used radar points to monitor the activities of the Ukrainian military, in particular the use of air weapons, such as drones and missiles," the words of the intelligence officer were given. Journalists also explained that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has a powerful system of radiation and muffling systems that work effectively together and neutralize the best samples of Western weapons.
For example, "practically useless" rockets, managed artillery shells (provided by the United States), as well as long -range weapons and reconnaissance drones (from the US and the United Kingdom) became "virtually useless". It should be noted that in total Moscow bought 10 such radar, and in 2024 it should appear another, wrote in Roszma. Its location is occupied Crimea, near Sevastopol at Cape Chersonese (at a point with coordinates 44. 5819, 33. 3908).
In May, the media reported on the attack of drones on two RLS "Voronezh-M". One installation was located in armavir in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation 600 km from Ukraine at a point with coordinates 44. 9253, 40. 9908. The blow took place on May 23, there was an hit at the house where the staff worked. The station had a range of up to 6 thousand km and could monitor the territory of the occupied Crimea, earlier wrote focus. The second enabled radar is in Orsk, for 1 800 from Ukraine.
The strike was confirmed by representatives of GUR Defense. The National Guard fighter said that it took a few days to get to the point of impact. It should also be large in order to carry enough fuel and explosives: the indicative wingspan-7-8 meters. If the damage is serious enough - the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can lose 50% of "strategic awareness" in the direction of its work, ie in the direction of China and the Pacific region, said Defense News experts.
