Ukrainian Counter-Battery Destroyed by Lancet Drone
Published 1 years ago
Reconnaissance drone video released by Russian sources shows the destruction of what appears to be an AN/TPQ-49 counter-fire radar system owned by Ukrainian forces.
The AN/TPQ-49 is a Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar system designed to designate the Point-of-Origin for incoming mortar and artillery strikes. This enables direct counter-battery operations by skilled mortar and artillery units. The destruction of this device likely may have impacted a unit's ability to properly conduct counter-battery operations.
