In Donetsk, Ukrainian soldiers have eliminated a rare example of Russian technology — the mobile air defense command and reconnaissance point PPRU-1 "Ovod-M-SV". This was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
The strike was carried out by an FPV drone pilot with the call sign "Voyage" from the "Phoenix" unit. He navigated through enemy territory, identified the hostile system, and destroyed it with a precise strike.
The PPRU-1 "Ovod-M-SV" (Mobile Command and Reconnaissance Point -1) is a Soviet and Russian mobile command and reconnaissance point for tactical air defense units, adopted into service in 1978. The vehicle is based on the light armored tractor MT-LB, weighs 15.5 tons, has a crew of five, and can be deployed in 5 minutes.
The system is equipped with a digital radar with a detection range for aerial targets of up to 40 km and can track up to 99 objects simultaneously. Its primary purpose is target designation and fire control for air defense missile systems such as ZSU-23-4 "Shilka", 9K35 "Strela-10", 2K22 "Tunguska", as well as portable systems "Strela-3" and "Igla".
Previously, the special unit "Ghosts" of the GUR MO of Ukraine destroyed a helicopter and expensive air defense systems of the Russians in Crimea.
