Russia-Ukraine conflict heading towards Third World War? This country ready to send its troops to Kiev, not US, Poland, France, name is... Kyiv: Russia, which has been entangled in war with Ukraine for over 40 months now, has suffered a major setback. According to the reports, Ukraine has successfully carried out a drone strike in Crimea and managed to breach Russia's S-400 air defense system. This system is one of Russia's most crucial weapons for protection against aerial attacks. Russia has also sold this system to several other countries, including India. In such a scenario, Ukraine's ability to penetrate the S-400 not only threatens Russia's own security but could also impact its arms exports. For India, too, the questions being raised about the capabilities of the S-400 may be a cause for concern. Ukraine carried out a drone strike on a key component of Russia's S-400 air defense system—the 91N6E Big Bird radar on Thursday, Ukraine's military intelligence agency, the GUR. The strike was conducted by the GUR's Ghosts Unit and damaged several components of the S-400 system, including the multifunction radar and missile launchers. The attack took place in Crimea, a region that has been strategically important for Russia since it was annexed in 2014. How GUR destroyed S-400? According to the reports, the GUR used suicide drones to target the S-400 system in Crimea. The GUR is low-cost drones have become a key weapon for the Ukrainian military against Russia. In the attack, Ukraine's GUR destroyed two 91N6E Big Bird radars, which are integrated into Russia's S-400 air defense network as early warning systems. 91N6E Big Bird radar: It is important to note that the 91N6E Big Bird radar is considered the backbone of Russia's S-400 Triumph air defense system. 91N6E Big Bird is designed to detect and provide information on aerial threats ranging from ballistic missiles to stealth aircraft. Operating in the S-band frequency, this radar can detect and track targets at a distance of up to 600 kilometers. Without the Big Bird radar, the S-400 is ineffective! What makes 91N6E Big Bird special for Russia's air defense network is its radar's ability to detect and track targets. The 91N6E uses a Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA). 91N6E design emphasizes mobility. Without the Big Bird radar, the S-400's ability to detect and intercept long-range targets becomes significantly limited.

Big Tension for Vladimir Putin as Ukraine destroys Russian S-400 Air Defence System,… should India be worried?
Big Tension for Vladimir Putin as Ukraine destroys Russian S-400 Air Defence System,… should India be worried? Russia, which has been fighting a war with Ukraine for 40 months, has recently suffered a major setback that could affect its defence exports. Ukraine has succeeded in penetrating Russia's mighty S-400 air defence system. The S-400 was destroyed in a Ukrainian drone attack in Crimea. The S-400 is considered one of the best air defence systems and plays a crucial role in protecting Russia from airstrikes. The air defence system is so effective that Moscow has sold it to several other countries, including India. During Operation Sindoor, the world witnessed the power of the S-400 when it intercepted several missiles and drones fired by Pakistan. Penetrating S-400 has not only put Russia's security at risk but also affected its arms export. For India also, because the S-400 air defence system is under questions. Giving information about the development, Ukraine's military intelligence agency GUR stated they have carried out a drone attack on the 91N6E Big Bird radar, which is an important component of the S-400 air defence system. The ghost unit of GUT carried out the attack, which damaged the component of the S-400, including the multifunction radar and missile launcher. Attack On S-400 The attack was carried out by a suicide drone. Notably, the suicide drones have become an importance part of Ukrain-Russia War. The GUR commandoes succeeded in destroying two 91N6E Big Bird radars which connects with the S-400 as a warning system. The Russian S-400 Triumph air defense system relies heavily on the 91N6E Big Bird radar. This S-band radar system detects and tracks airborne threats, including ballistic missiles and stealth aircraft, at ranges up to 600 kilometers. S-400 is useless without Big Bird radar! The 91N6E Big Bird radar's ability to detect and track targets makes it important for Russia's air defence network. Unlike older radars, the 91N6E uses an electronically scanned array [PESA]. Mobility has been emphasized in its design. Without the Big Bird radar, the S-400's ability to detect and intercept distant targets is limited. Russia's S-400 is considered one of the best air defenses in the world, but recently many questions have been raised about this system. Especially the repeated damage to this system by Ukraine has hurt the reputation of this system. This also increases India's concern because the Indian Army largely depends on Russia's S-400 system for air defence.
