Space War against Russia: As a blow to the Station Station weakened Russian intelligence
The latter specializes in space electronic intelligence. According to the head of the "NSDB Center" NSDC "NSDC, the object" Zazda "is one of the main stations of the Russian system of space electronic intelligence. The system emerged in the Soviet times in the early 1970s under the code name "Star" and was intended for global transception of signals from satellites, intercontinental communications and even signaling exchange between foreign military objects.
"Zvezda object is actually a center for the analysis of space information, which belongs to the structure of the Main Intelligence Management of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU). It specializes in electronic observation by signals from orbit, foreign satellite communication systems (including commercial)," - writes Andrey.
"Zvezda" is part of the strategic architecture of Russian intelligence, which is used both for monitoring the situation in military areas and for the preparation of information for information and psychological operations. In particular, for cyber -spy in Ukraine and in Western countries.
According to military expert Dmitry Snegirev, the attack of unknown drones on the object of space electronic intelligence of the Russian Federation took place after publication in Western media about the threats of the Russian Federation to bring nuclear weapons into space as an element of pressure to the west.
"This scenario was considered by the Russian Federation at the moment of global influence on the economy of the Western countries, in particular due to the possible undermining of a nuclear charge that could fail to a third of Western satellites," the expert emphasized Focus.
According to Snegirev, Zvezda is part of the Space Electronic Intelligence System of the Russian Federation intended for global interception of signals from Western satellites, information analysis and monitoring of intercontinental communications, including NATO military sites. It specialized in electronic signals from orbit, including commercial satellite communication systems.
"It is, in fact, the brain center of the CCS of Russia, which is subordinate to the Main Intelligence Administration of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Information from the Grand Radar made it possible to monitor the current situation online for the Russian Federation, in particular in the war zone in Ukraine, as well as in the territory of the Russian Federation, in particular in Kursk and Belgorod regions.
According to Dmitry Snegirev, a blow to the station at the station has an information and psychological effect for the Russian Federation. In particular, the world was convinced that Russia was not able to cover even strategic objects. "The Russian Federation System, to put it mildly, is imperfect that is an informational, political and military blow to the Russian Federation.
It is actually a warning for Russians about the possibility of the Ukrainian side at the moment of strikes on objects related to the systems of global interception of signals and satellites," - said the military. Attacking on the container radar in Mordovia (April 2024). On April 17, 2024, Ukrainian drones, probably long -range UAVs "February", attacked the enabled radar station (radar) "Container" (29B6) in the area of Kovilkino, the Republic of Mordovia.
This radar is unique in the arsenal of the Russian Federation, designed to detect air goals at long distances, in particular for monitoring the launch of ballistic missiles. Russian telegram channels, reported an explosion in the territory of the military unit where the radar is located, as well as the possible disruption of the station. The Ukrainian intelligence was not officially confirmed, but they did not refute the attack.
Western media, such as Newsweek, noted that the defeat of the "container" can be considered a violation of the "red lines" of the Russian Federation, since this radar is part of the nuclear determination system. Lesions of RLC "Sky-M" in the Belgorod region (October 2024). In October 2024, the Armed Forces struck the Russian Radio-M radar complex in the Belgorod region with the help of three ATACMS ballistic missiles, provided by the United States.
This complex is designed to detect air goals, including aircraft, helicopters and rockets, up to 600 km. Sky-M lesions weakened the ability of the Russian Federation to control the airspace in the border regions, which is critical to protect against Ukrainian aviation and rocket strikes. Attacks on radar systems in occupied Crimea (2022-2025). During the war, the Armed Forces repeatedly attacked the objects of electronic intelligence and air defense in the occupied Crimea.
For example, in 2023, Ukrainian drones attacked radio electronic surveillance systems that were used to monitor airspace and detect rockets. Dmitry Snegirev in a comment to focus, emphasizing that they were aimed at systems related to aerospace monitoring. Such attacks weakened Russian air defense/O, creating "blind zones" for Ukrainian operations. Specific details, such as the exact dates or names of the objects, are often not disclosed because of the secrecy of operations.
The last attack on May 2, 2025 eliminated the Soviet mobile tricoordinate Radiolocation Station ST-68 and a mobile two-coordinate radar station "Casta-2E2". Strike on the Aerodrome "Diagilevo" in Ryazan (December 2022). On December 5, 2022, the Ukrainian UAV Tu-141 "Strizh" attacked the Diagilevo airfield in the Ryazan region, where strategic bombers of TU-22M3 were based.
Although the main purpose was the planes, the impact also damaged the winged X-32 rocket and probably the elements of the radar infrastructure of the aerodrome, which provided navigation and control of the airspace. Russian sources have found damage to three aircraft and rocket, which confirmed the effectiveness of the attack. Ukrainian drones have also attacked objects that are indirectly related to radar systems, such as electrical substations and command points that feed or coordinate radar.
