Ukrainian Defense Forces have carried out the first confirmed attack on the Russian radar P-18-2 Prima, a system known for its ability to detect aircraft with stealth technology.
The operation was carried out by the 412th Unmanned System Forces Brigade, known as “Nemesis”, and was captured on video by the unit’s command.
Commander Robert Brovdi stated that the target was struck more than 100 kilometers behind the front line with medium attack drones equipped with warheads weighing more than 10 kilograms. Due to the radar’s low armor protection, the impact rendered the system completely useless, eliminating an asset considered strategically important to Russian air defense.
On the same day, the brigade also destroyed a Tor-M2 missile system and a hybrid Tunguska system in the Zaporizhia and Donetsk regions. This brought the total number of neutralized radars and air defense systems between January 1 and 12 to 11 units, further widening the gaps in the enemy air defense network.
The P-18-2 Prima is a latest-generation mobile radar that can detect targets at distances of up to 320 kilometers, depending on altitude. According to Ukrainian authorities, drone units struck more than 106,000 targets in December 2025 alone, including 128 air defense systems, marking the highest number ever recorded for this type of operation.
