Remains Of US-Made Radar Supplied To Ukraine Captured By Donbass Forces (Photos)

English: CW4 Dallas Whitney (left) and MAJ Ben Luper, both of Combined Joint Task Force-82 Joint Fires Cell, stand next to an AN/TPQ-48v2 Lightweight Counter-mortar Radar at an undisclosed location in Afghanistan, January 2010.

The armed forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) have captured the remains of a US-made AN/TPQ-48 Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR) from Ukrainian forces.

On March 17, DPR forces shared photos showing the damaged antenna of the radar, which was captured near the city of Maryinka.

The forces of the DPR and the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) have been taking part in the Russian special military operation in Ukraine since its start on February 24.

The SRCTec AN/TPQ-48 is a man portable system, designed to detect, track and locate primarily mortars, with later versions able to also track rockets. It provides 360-degree surveillance using an electronically scanned antenna. It has two separate modes of operation; sense and warn and counter-fire.

The system, which weighs less than 227 kg, can determining the position of an enemy mortar or rocket battery with an accuracy of 50 meters at a distance of 10 kilometers.

In 2014, the Ukrainian military begin receiving AN/TPQ-48 radar systems from the US. One of the radars was captured by Donbass forces in 2015. In the later years, the US went on to supply Ukraine with the larger AN/TPQ-49 and AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radars.

The US supplied these counter-battery radars on the hopes of improving the accuracy of the Ukrainian artillery. However, they made no noticeable difference in the battlefield.

It’s interesting that you think that this tech isn’t worth it, while Russia is parading it.

Good that Ukraine had been equipped for defense.

Who has something against people defending themselves? Exactly, invaders.

Fun fact, Southfront sticks to Vlad’s order to call war not war in this article too again.

But scared minions in Vlad’s basement didn’t behave, so Vlad had to stop praising himself for a minute. Russian TV called it a technical problem.

Yeah, if only Russian recruits in Ukraine would only suffer from a technical problem only. They suffer logistical problems with food, fuel and ammo.

An oil exporting country that can’t refill its own army. What a joke and shame.

How many Russian soldiers already lost their lives due to blatant incompetence, well, who knows. It’s just sad.

Corrupt Shithole of Ukropisstan

Kievnatzis invaded Donbas first. What goes around comes around…

Loki

So much hatred in you against your brothers and sisters. Explains your allegiance. 🤷

BangderaSteponPutin

To be honest he is right. It was us whom started the genocide first in the east.

Loki

While I understand what you mean, because one becomes a murderer, doesn’t justify to become a murder yourself.

Ukraine kicked out Poroshenko for good and elected the only decent person available. Since then Ukraine was mostly going it’s own way. A neutral Ukraine could have been achieved fat smarter.

The worst people from Azov are already serving prison time too.

Ukraine under Poroshenko after the coup is a whole different story than Ukraine right before the war.

To be clear, the devil is dancing on both sides anyway.

Clyde

Complete garbage. Membership in NATO was built into the Ukrainian constitution after the US coup. The 2022 Klown Krew in Kiev was another band of anti-Russian IMF stooges. You’re regurgitating the same MSM talking points used in Anglosphere propaganda. The Canadians were busted outright training Nazis and tried to cover it up. This is in mainstream Canadian media. To be clear, the US stooges gave up their country to the US imperial strategy against Russia, and now the country is being destroyed as a function of destabilizing Russia. Pretty simple stuff. They have been white-washing Ukrainian Nazis in Canada for seventy years, and now that white-washing has gone global via the US propaganda apparatus.

At 220KG it is stretching things a bit to be man portable, no one is carrying this thing around on their back, it is strictly a vehicle job to transport it, but couple of infantry heavy lifters can set it up once its delivered to fortifications site. This also why one was captured immediately by DNP forces in 2015, the AUF abandoned it in situ when they quickly retreated.

Reports released today indicate that Russia’s Yarovsky missile strike killed many white-supremacist, racist, Nazi mercenaries from Scandinavia. A total of 180 Nazi mercenaries were killed in that strike. Nobody knows how many were Ukrainian Nazis as opposed to radical white supremacists from other countries. But many of the Nazis were definitely from Scandinavia, Sweden in particular.

Russia is make the world a better, kinder place for all people. Russia is eliminating the racist-supremacists and the ethnic-chauvinist bigots.

Victory for Russia and the Russian liberation army.

O gevalt. My precious koshernazis. Thats roo much to handle.😨😫

BangderaSteponPutin

Russia has taken on this Nazism obsession in order to justify a pointless and unproductive war. There are very few Nazis in Ukraine. And Ukraine is not the only country which has far right elements in their Parliament. Who appointed Russia the far right police in Europe? If anything, far right parties were on the side of Putin. They were aligned in terms of values. Putin is destroying everything in Russia. It’s diplomatic ties. It’s army. It’s economy. The mental health of the population. Driving an entire nation in a narrative of paranoia and fear. How can he make the Russian nation stronger when his very actions achieve the exact opposite?

Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy

Nah. Glorious ukronazisistan is the main hub globally for neonazis. Truth hurts try to handle it. Slava Ukraini. Praise Adolf and Bandera.

Should be a dream come true for the people of the Ukraine as the US goes about the task of turning the Ukraine into a wasteland to disrupt economic links between China, Russia and Europe. A beautiful future for all the young Ukrainian people. The Afghanistan dream they were all hoping for in 2014.

Wait a second, are you saying they lied to us? When I threw molotov cocktails at Maidan at civilians and police, I thought it’s because Ukraine would become prosperous(and ofc the juicy Soros money I got paid upfront) like all the other ex USSR states who joined NATO. There’s many examples such as Lithuania… no wait that’s become a complete shithole. What about Latvia? No wait that’s also a shithole. Estonia for sure! Oh…shithole. Quick someone hand me an example of a country that came under western influence that was anything short of a disaster for the population, there must be at least 1?

The fact the Russia is bragging about small material gains is a clear indication that they’re not making any gains on the important objectives of this war. Another day passed, another battalion of Russian soldiers exterminated, another batch of several dozen Russian vehicles being captured. The Russian troops are being cut down like sunflower stalks. The rate at which Russia is losing men in this war would make any western military hang is head in shame. The Ukrainians are collecting your dead, wrapping and packing them, getting ready to send them. They came in warm and they’re going back cold. There is nobody to receive them in Russia. The dead Russian soldier is worth less to Putin than the live one. In the meanwhile, Putin is self congratulating himself in massive rallies in Moscow. People are cheering and praising his narcissistic arse. While in Mariupol, the genocide perpetrated by the Russian army against the peaceful population of the city continues. It’s all fun and games for Putin, but the world is watching and judging him appropriately. There’s a special place in hell for such monsters

And how about the population of the Ukraine? Their stooge government installed by the US in 2014 undertook a barbaric ethnic cleansing operation in Donbas, while pursuing anti-Russian policies throughout the country. Now the Donbas is gone, the entire country is a war zone and millions are fleeing as the entire popuation is traumatized and subjected to dislocation an deprivation in the chaos. So who was in La-la land? What people in their right minds would want to submit their country to the US predator entity? It’s mind-boggling to think that the Ukrainian population bought into a seventy-year-old fake promise from the US empire. Sad.

“Ukrainian soldiers were trained by CIA veterans after Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 according to reports, which officials believe is what is helping them in their war against the Kremlin today.

Paramilitary officers with the Central Intelligence Agency in the Special Activities Division began secret training in sniping, anti-tank warfare and surveillance evasion after Russia occupied Crimea this time eight years ago.

According to Yahoo News, six former CIA officials have said they can recognize their training in the current war on Ukraine through the resistance of the nation’s soldiers.”
