Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces reported that a tactical drone strike targeted and disabled a Russian 9S32M1 radar unit, a core component of the S-300V surface-to-air missile network, in the Donetsk region on January 5, 2026. The 9S32M1 serves as a guidance and tracking radar capable of coordinating multiple missiles and tracking aerial targets, and is considered a comparatively rare and valuable asset in Russia’s air defense inventory. | Defense Media
