What is known about AFU's destruction of the newest Russian communication station
As noted, the operators of the 3rd SOF regiment, while working on one of the operational lines, identified the Russian digital radio relay station (RRS) R-416GM.
On an enemy target, the special forces inflicted fire damage with one of the latest developments that entered service with the SOF.
As a result of a successful operation, the R-416GM station was damaged. Therefore, communication between the command post and units of the Russian army was broken, the SOF statement added.
The Russian army adopted this complex in 2018. The mobile station is designed to increase the efficiency of radio relay communication units in the field.
It should be noted that this R-416GM station was the first to be hit by the Ukrainian military during the war.
