Strike on military infrastructure in Dnepropetrovsk region

The strike destroyed an AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel short- and medium-range three-dimensional radar and damaged one of the NASAMS launchers. The AN/TPQ-64 is a multifunction radar designed to search, detect and identify up to 60 airborne targets and to engage up to 3 SAMs. Some time after the damage, one of the rockets in the launcher detonated (presumably damaged by the blast wave), setting off a chain reaction that resulted in the detonation of reserve ammunition. Secondary detonations are also reported to have damaged several other launchers and possibly the NTAS optoelectronic guidance... Rocket impact in Sderot Источник: Lord Of War
