Her er bilde av radarsystemet Canada kjøper fra Australia, den du kunne lese om i går.

Det er en radartype Sovjet hadde på 70 tallet, montert nær Kyiv tror jeg. Den skapte støy på forskjellige typer radiofrekvenser. Da ble radaren omtalt som en Over The Horizon Back Scatter Radar. Noen mener at det var en reinspikka støysender, men flere mente det var en radartype som visstnok var ny for vesten. Sjekk mer om prinsippet til OTH-B radaren her: https://tinyurl.com/3zu9bpka

Ukrainsk forsvar: Lasteskip truffet i droneangrep

Det ukrainske forsvaret hevder i et Telegram-innlegg mandag at Russland står bak et droneangrep på det tyrkiske skipet Victress. Det brøt ut brann på skipet.

Statsborgere fra Egypt, Tyrkia og India skal ha vært om bord. En eller flere i mannskapet mistet livet melder Ukraina.

Ifølge nettstedet Marinetraffic befinner lasteskipet seg i skrivende stund utenfor Romania, ikke langt fra grensen til Ukraina.

Ukrainerne deler et bilde på Telegram som skal vise skipet i brann.

Mandag meldes det også om russiske angrep i Odessa, og et droneangrep i Saporosje sør i landet.
