Viktor Litovkin, a well-known Russian military expert frequently quoted in Sputnik and other locations, is confident that the nuclear defense was not damaged as a result of the Ukrainian drone attack on the Armavir early warning radar station. “This is a missile attack warning station. In our country, such stations are overlapped by other similar stations,” he argued, reported Avia.pro, a Russian military news website. “It operates in this way: when an enemy missile takes off and flies towards Russia, this station determines where it will fly, its trajectory, and, well, the point of impact. We probably have 12 stations along the country’s borders. So, of course, damage at one of the stations is bad, but it’s not critical.”
However, the Avia.pro author adds, it is important to understand that several stations are already in the attack zone of Ukrainian drones, and this is a very serious risk.
