Ukraine special forces destroy $125M Russian radar using HIMARS

Ukrainian special forces destroyed Russian radar worth $125m with HIMARS. Elite units posted drone footage documenting their kills of Zoopark-1 radar. The Soviet system is designed to detect incoming enemy artillery fire and pinpoint the guns that fired the shells so they can be destroyed. However, the radar themselves were targeted by precision rockets. With footage showing five of them being blown up by Ukrainian HIMARS. Such radar systems are expensive to build, and difficult to replace. Taking them out helps level the playing field between Russia and Ukraine.
