Ukrainian army destroys latest Russian electronic warfare system

Fighters of the Ukrainian Defence Forces in the Donetsk direction destroyed the latest Russian Tirada-2 orbital satellite suppression complex.

The Russian Tirada-2 electronic warfare system was discovered by operators of the 3rd separate SOF regiment during reconnaissance operations in the Donetsk direction, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“Having determined the coordinates of the enemy target, the SOF operators aimed fire at it from the missile unit of the Defense Forces. As a result of an accurate fire strike, the electronic warfare system was completely destroyed,” the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces reported.

It is noted that the complex is designed to disable communication satellites. As noted in the Russian Ministry of Defense, satellites can be deactivated directly from the surface of the Earth.
