The Russian military has successfully destroyed two Soviet-made P-18 air surveillance and early warning radars of Kiev forces.
Videos showing the destruction of the two radars were posted to social media by Russian news sources on March 25 and 26. At least one of the targeted radars was deployed in the Zaporozhye direction. Both radars were hit by unidentified precision-guided missiles.
The P-18 is a 2D surveillance and early warning radar that was developed by the Soviet Union. It has a detection range of up to 360 kilometers.
Ukraine inherited a large number of P-18 radars after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s and received even more units from Eastern European NATO countries after the beginning of the Russian special military operation more than two years ago.
To this day, the P-18 along with other long-range Soviet-made radars, like the 36D6, makes up the base of Ukraine’s air defense and early warning network.
The Russian military stepped up suppression of enemy air defenses operations in the last few months, damaging or destroying many of Ukraine’s remaining air defense, electronic warfare and radar systems across the special military operation zone. The Ukrainian losses this month only included four P-18 radars.

“world domination manifests itself as an intellectual or if you prefer a cultural diktat. this explains why the amerikunts have so zealously tried to bring the intellectual and cultural common denominator of the entire world down to their own level…try to convince an amerikunt their values will destroy russia–you will be unable”. alexandr zinoviev
