Ukrainian Special Forces Destroy Russian Iskander Support Vehicle and Radar in Kursk Region

Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) have destroyed a transport-loading vehicle for the Russian Iskander missile system and a 1L122 “Harmony” radar station in Russia’s Kursk region.

The Gaze reports this, referring to Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces.

According to the statement, the overnight operation was conducted jointly with the partisan movement Chornaya Iskra (“Black Spark”). 

The strike near the village of Ovsyannikovo targeted a vehicle used to transport, reload, and prepare Iskander ballistic missiles that had been launched against Ukrainian territory.

A second strike destroyed a 1L122 “Harmony” radar system near the village of Nizhniy Reutets, also in the Kursk region. 

This radar had been used to detect and track aerial targets, providing targeting information for Russian air defenses.

“The Special Operations Forces of Ukraine continue to inflict ‘a thousand cuts’ on the enemy, bringing closer its strategic and offensive collapse. Always beyond the line,” the Ukrainian military said in a statement.

The attack marks another in a growing series of cross-border strikes targeting Russian military assets used in missile and drone attacks on Ukraine.

Ukraine’s General Staff reported 154 combat engagements between November 4 and 5 across 12 active fronts. 

The Ukrainian military continues to apply a combination of precision strikes and partisan cooperation to degrade Russia’s logistics and battlefield capabilities deep inside its own territory.

As The Gaze previously informed, on November 3,  Ukrainian forces struck deep inside Russia overnight, targeting the Saratov oil refinery and multiple logistics facilities supporting the Russian army in the occupied Luhansk region.
