The Russian military had destroyed a U.S.-made AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radar of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), a spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on November 19.
According to the spokesman, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, the radar was destroyed on Donetsk front a day earlier.
“In the area of the settlement of Avdeyevka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, an AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radar of United States manufacture was obliterated,” the spokesman said during his daily press briefing.
The SRCTec AN/TPQ-50 is a highly mobile counter-battery, target acquisition radar that was designed to provides 360 azimuth coverage. It can automatically detect, classify, track and locate points of origin of projectiles fired from mortar, artillery and rocket systems.
The radar can reportedly detect mortars from 5-10 kilometers, artillery shells from 1-10 kilometers and rockets from 1-10 kilometers.
The AN/TPQ-50 is typically mounted on a vehicle, like the U.S.-made HMMWV, but can be also operated in the tripod-mounted configuration.
The U.S. first supplied several AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radars to the AFU following the outbreak of the war in Donbass in 2014.
After the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, the AFU received addition counter-battery radars of different types, including AN/TPQ-36, AN/TPQ-48, AN/TPQ-49, AN/TPQ-50, AN/TPQ-64, COBRA and MAMBA, form the U.S. and other NATO countries. These radars didn’t have any real impact on the battlefield, however.
Many of these NATO-supplied counter-battery radars have been already destroyed, damaged or even captured by the Russian military.

I wonder what would an “aryan” look for in a war between two slavic people, tartars and several other ethnic groups he KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT! There are no problems for aryans to be solved closer to home?!
I wonder if it detected what hit it ? US taxpayers lost another 10 million.
I wonder what is the real cost of all this high tech shit USA sends to Ukronazis? I suspect it is all like the FTX scheme 🤣 but subjects of the state are robbed of these money not fooled into giving them away…
Corruption has gone way beyond the wildest dreams in Slavelandia.
10 million US tax dollars going up in smoke literally, LITERALLY. More to come. Meanwhile here in Mississippi, the folks living under Poverty Line is above 20%.
When i was in Philadelphia some 15 years ago, i was shocked that one of the friends i was visiting was having problems affording insulin! I helped obviously and kept on helping until his passing some years ago of cardiac issues unrelated to his diabetes. But to this day i’m shocked at the disparity that i’ve witnessed in the US. IT’s a beautiful country with fantastic generous people, but at the same time it’s ruled by greedy inhumane sociopaths. It’s the only way i can describe some of the disparities. People working 2, even 3 jobs to make ends meet was totally normal. Barely seeing their kids grow. So sorry for the good folks there.
“IT’s a beautiful country with fantastic generous people, but at the same time it’s ruled by greedy inhumane sociopaths.”
I believe that’s why they have their 2nd Amendment.
TBH it’s frustrating that the good folk in the USA don’t rise up and take their country back – that includes all the poor farm boys in the military.
Martin Armstrong at [ armstrongeconomics.com ] characterises all of this as the collapse of the Western Empire, and says that his AI program Socrates forecasts that it won’t all be over and done with until 2032.
That’s 10 more years of international mayhem and collateral damage mixed in amongst economic collapse, famine and war.
The last thought the operators of that system had was one of those, “oh shit moments”…
THIS IS BREAKING: a reinforcement unit (build mostly by Polish mercenaries) which tried to retake Artyomsk has been completely destroyed with salvos of TOS-1 Buratinos. Urrraaa!
Excellent news. No wonder the Poles refused to grant a visa for Lavrov. A few days ago a cargo plane arrived in Poland with the bodies of 8 dead Polish mercenaries. Or what remained of them. They were carried out of the airplane in military honours almost. The irony, Poland almost destroyed by Nazi Germany, honouring dead Nazis. And now yet more Polish Nazis imploded, then exploded in rapid sucession by thermobaric salvos. No wonder the Poles resent the Russians. They keep sending them home in miniature coffins.
Poland WAS completely destroyed by Nazi Germany. It was the Russians who helped to rebuilt it, specially if we are talking about some important infrastructure sites that are still standing to this day.
This is very good news. Pooland are led by You Know Whose.
These things should not be able to operate against an enemy with an intact air force. Russian ARM should be cleaning them up. They have to be on and scanning in order to pick up the arty rounds emission of signal would be like a giant neon sign we are here! KH31 and even the old 25 pdm should be able to clear these from the battlefields? They probably do not have long on the battlefield.
Go away troll go back and serve your pedophile slave masters on your knees.
Russia is destroying American scrapmetal.
Muy tarde, Rusia perdió esta guerra.
Apparently russia needs one of these things to find out where the incming rounds are originating that are hitting the nuclear power plant
More Slumville junk incinerated while the impoverished USSAN tax cattle get ready for their long overdue and much awaited civil war reloaded. Get it on already, Bubba.
