Russian drones destroy Israeli-made 'Rada' radar Ukraine acquired via third countries

Published 15 August 2026

Russian drone operators in Group of Forces ‘North’ destroyed an Israeli-manufactured ‘Rada’ ground surveillance radar near Makharikhha, Kharkiv Oblast, during advances toward Kazacha Lopan. Russian open-source analysts assert that Ukraine has been sourcing Rada-series radars through intermediary countries to circumvent Israeli export controls, and present the strike as part of a wider effort to degrade Ukrainian sensor coverage as command elements relocate deeper into the rear.
