Media reports coming from russian on May 23, 2024, claimed that Ukrainian killer drones were able to damage the Voronezh-DM over-the-horizon radar station, which is located near Armavir in the Krasnodar region of russia. This radar is part of the russian early warning system supposed to counter a strategic missile strike. Now the confirmation comes from the photos that have appeared in the public domain. They indicate the very fact of damage dealt to the Voronezh-DM, and that some hits also landed on the staff accommodation buildings. The scale of destruction is unclear.
The uniqueness of this situation lies not only in the functional purpose this valuable equipment serves but also in its specifications: target detection range of Voronezh-DM is declared to reach 6,000 kilometers; besides ballistic and cruise missiles, the system is said to be capable of spotting "space objects."

Seems someone in the Pentagon is enabling WW III. This leaves Russia with a huge gap in their radar coverage towards the Middle East. Russia would be vulnerable to a nuclear first strike from a submarine in the eastern Mediterranean or from Israel. In addition, Israel could launch on Iran and Russia would not be able to warn them. This is being blamed on Ukraine, but the loss of this radar station does not benefit Ukraine in any military way.
