Russian radar blows up at military air base in Belarus

A Russian multi-role fire control radar was reportedly blown up at the Zyabrovka air base near Homel in Belarus, which is located some 30 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

A source familiar with the intelligence said that the Russian 92N6 fire control and engagement radar, known as Grave Stone by NATO, blew up in a huge explosion at Zyabrovka air base on the night of August 11.

Lots of Russian military vehicles and aircraft, including S-400 and Pantsir S1 air defense systems, are stationed there and the Russians often launch attacks against Ukraine from Ziabrauka.
