The Radar War - Four High-Value Systems Destroyed

Welcome back to Frontline Updates. I'm your host. Today is March 7, 2026, and the Russian Ministry of Defense has released its daily briefing. The headline is a massive overnight strike: Russian forces launched a mass strike using long-range precision weapons and attack drones against Ukrainian defense industry enterprises, power infrastructure, and military airfields. All assigned targets were engaged. But as we dig into the ground sectors, a pattern emerges that demands our attention: in a single day, Russian forces destroyed four high-value radar systems. An Israeli-made RADA RPS-42 in the North. A Netherland-made Robin IRIS in the West. Another Israeli-made RADA RPS-42 and a US-made TPS-80 counter-fire radar in the South. Add to that multiple US-supplied armored vehicles, M113, Stryker, HMMWV, M1117, and an Italian-made Puma APC. This is not random attrition. This is a systematic campaign to blind Ukrainian sensors and degrade their most capable systems.  To help us understand the operational logic behind these strikes, we are joined by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye. Colonel Oguntoye is an Infantry Officer with deep expertise in combined arms operations and the sensor-to-shooter kill chain. Colonel, welcome back. Today's briefing is a masterclass in the application of operational art to the sensor warfare problem. Four high-value radars in a single day represents a significant degradation of Ukraine's ability to see the battlefield. Let's explore what this means, sector by sector. #RussiaUkraineWar #MilitaryBriefing #SpecialMilitaryOperation #Donetsk #Zaporizhzhia #Sumy #Kharkiv #Dnipropetrovsk #OperationalUpdate #DefenseAnalysis #Geopolitics #WarReport #March72026 #MilitaryAnalysis #SITREP #DeepStrikes #RadarWarfare #RADA #RobinIRIS #TPS80 #Stryker #M113 #HMMWV #bf6 #mw3
