Open source intelligence sources reported a decline in the number of Russian low-altitude radar systems, Every-2E2 and Podlyotalong Russia’s border with Finland.
The information was shared by the Ukrainian portal Militarnyiwhich quotes the OSINT researcher Athena Noctuawho analyzed satellite images and shared his findings on X.
According to him, the Russian radars are installed on special masts due to the dense forest terrain. Nearby, support vehicles handle functions such as the command post and other equipment necessary for the operation of the radar.

Many of the previous rankings for Every-2E2 and Podlyot-K1-radars now appear abandoned with no sign of activity, according to Militarnyi.
One of these sites was a radar unit located a few kilometers from the major Russian oil port of Ust-Luga, which was recently hit by several Ukrainian drones.
According to the researcher, this shows the effectiveness of Ukraine’s campaign to hit Russian air defense systems, as Russia was forced to withdraw its cover in the direction of a new NATO member state.
