The Hunt for Zoopark: How Ukrainian Forces are Turning the Tables on Russian Artillery
The videos we’ve analyzed offer a raw glimpse into a critical aspect of the war in Ukraine: the ongoing battle for artillery dominance. These reports, often documented by Ukrainian forces themselves, showcase successful strikes against Russia’s sophisticated Zoopark-1 counter-battery radar systems using HIMARS and even cheaper drones. These radar systems, designed to locate and target Ukrainian artillery positions, have become high-value targets, and their destruction signifies a shift in the balance of power on the battlefield. From drone footage capturing the moment of impact to firsthand accounts of Ukrainian soldiers, we’ll examine how these strikes are carried out, the financial and strategic implications for both sides, and what this tells us about the evolving nature of modern warfare.
Key Takeaways from the Front Lines
High-Value Targets: Russian Zoopark-1 radar systems, crucial for Russian artillery operations, are being systematically targeted and destroyed by Ukrainian forces.
HIMARS and Drones: The videos demonstrate the effective use of HIMARS, but surprisingly, even less expensive, long-range drones are proving successful in neutralizing these expensive radar installations.
Financial Impact: The destruction of these systems represents a significant financial blow to Russia, with estimated losses ranging from $15 million to $125 million per unit. This cost, coupled with production challenges, hinders Russiaโs ability to replace these critical assets.

Strategic Advantage: By eliminating these radar systems, Ukraine degrades Russiaโs ability to conduct counter-battery fire, protecting Ukrainian artillery units and potentially enabling more effective offensive operations.
Shifting Battlefield Dynamics: The videos underscore the evolving nature of warfare, highlighting the growing role of precision strikes and drone technology in shaping the outcome of conflicts.
The Silent Game of Counter-Battery Warfare: A Deeper Look
Analysis of these videos in conjunction with reports from sources like the Associated Press and the Institute for the Study of War, reveals a growing trend: Ukraine’s proactive targeting of Russian artillery capabilities. This approach doesn’t just diminish Russiaโs immediate offensive firepower; it forces Russian artillery units to redeploy frequently, disrupting logistics, coordination, and overall effectiveness. Furthermore, the use of less expensive drones demonstrates an innovative approach to resource management within the Ukrainian military, maximizing impact while conserving valuable assets.
The Future of the Fight: What Lies Ahead
The ongoing attacks on Zoopark systems signal a potentially decisive shift in the artillery war. As Ukraine continues to hone its targeting capabilities and acquire more advanced weaponry, we can expect Russia to intensify efforts to protect these vital assets, potentially rethinking their deployment strategies or investing in counter-drone technologies. This cat-and-mouse game will likely be a defining feature of the conflict in the months to come. Scroll down to see the videos and judge for yourself. The footage is often graphic and raw, but it offers an unfiltered perspective on the reality of war in Ukraine today.

Ukraine special forces destroy $125M Russian radar using HIMARSDaily Mail430,828 views | 6,154 | November 5 2023 10:00:38 (582 comments)[ Read more … ]Ukrainian special forces destroyed Russian radar worth $125m with HIMARS. Elite units posted drone footage documenting their kills of Zoopark-1 radar. The Soviet system is designed to detect incoming enemy artillery fire and pinpoint the guns that fired the shells so they can be destroyed. However, the radar themselves were targeted by precision rockets. With footage showing five of them being blown up by Ukrainian HIMARS. Such radar systems are expensive to build, and difficult to replace. Taking them out helps level the playing field between Russia and Ukraine.

Drone operators of the Ukrainian Armed Forcesโ 14th separate regiment have destroyed Russiaโs Zoopark-1 counter-battery radar system worth 25 million USD. The crew members of the radar system were also killed during the attack. The video showing the destruction of Zoopark-1 has been published by Ukrainian Telegram channels. โThe destruction of this complex significantly weakens Russiaโs ability to conduct counter-battery warfare and protects our units from artillery shelling. The forces of unmanned systems show their prowess and technological advantage,โ one of Telegram channels wrote. Developed by the Soviet Armed Forces, Zoopark-1 is a mobile active electronically scanned array radar. Itโs designed for reconnaissance and fire detection of ground artillery systems. Itโs unknown where Zoopark-1 was struck. It should be recalled that Ukraine on Saturday struck Russian Black Sea Fleetโs submarine worth $300 million in Crimeaโs Sevastopol port city. On the same day, Ukraine damaged Russiaโs S-400 air defense system.
