It is not yet clear how these damages will affect the facility's performance, but it can be stated that their operation is currently limited. Militarnyi previously reported that a photo capturing the aftermath of a drone strike on the Voronezh-DM over-the-horizon radar near the settlement of Gluboky in Krasnodar Krai was published online. Two buildings were damaged, along with antenna webs with an active electronically scanned array (AESA).
The damaged radar is located at the coordinates 44.925245,40.984025 and is part of the Russian Federation's unified missile defense system.
One station offers a detection range of up to 6000 km across the horizon and 7000 km in altitude while tracking up to 500 targets simultaneously.
