Russian soldiers struck a scarce RPS-80/81 counter-battery radar complex (radar) developed by the Israeli company RADA Electronic Industries with a low-visibility Lancet-3 kamikaze drone (produced by the Kalashnikov concern), military expert Yevgeny Damantsev writes.
According to Damantsev, the radar based on a 4-sided active phased array antenna (APAR) with a web diameter of 790 mm and gallium nitride microwave transistors is capable of detecting 120-mm mines at a distance of up to 14 km, and 155-mm artillery shells up to 20 km. In addition, the radar complex determines the location of firing positions along the ascending branches of trajectories.
According to the expert, the RPS-81 radar was able to detect the approaching Lancet-3 at a distance of 10-7 km, but the enemy did not have the means to intercept the Russian drone.
This made it possible to deprive the enemy of an important link in the counter-battery tandem.
