On May 26, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) drone attacked the Voronezh-M long-range target detection radar station in the Russian Orsk. The Ukrainian drone covered a distance of more than 1,800 km to the object - setting a new record for the range of damage for kamikaze drones.

The May 27 photo shows that dark spots appeared on the territory of the radar, which were not there before — probably traces of a fire due to a UAV hit.
The resolution of the photo does not allow us to assess the degree of possible damage to the Russian station, the message says.
According to data from open sources, the long-range target detection radar station "Voronezh-M" is part of the Russian long-range stationary over-the-horizon radar. They are designed to detect space and aerodynamic objects, such as ballistic and cruise missiles. This radar has a target detection range of up to 6,000 kilometres.
