OSCE Special Monitoring Mission identified Russian-made Kredo-M1 reconnaissance radar, reports Militarnyi.

The portable reconnaissance radar was located in Lugansk region.

According to report No. 286/2021, published by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, the Russian radar was located near the village of Svitle, 11 km north of Luhansk.

The radar in the village was discovered by OSCE patrol on December 5, 2021.

This is not the first time when the Russian Kredo-M1 radar is found in the occupied part of Donbas.

Thus, in June 2019, the OSCE SMM recorded a Russian land-based reconnaissance radar on the outskirts of occupied Pervomaisk.

In 2020, it was reported that Ukrainian 24th Mechanized Brigade had destroyed Russia’s Kredo-M1 reconnaissance radar.

According to the InformNapalm volunteer community, back in 2016, the Kredo-M1 reconnaissance radar was discovered in the village of Olenivka, Donetsk region.

Russian Kredo-M1 portable land-based reconnaissance radar is designed to detect ground and maritime mobile targets.

The radar is designated for:
– surveillance in a particular sector;
– simultaneous tracking of up to 10 targets of the operator’s choice. At the same time, coordinates, bearing and speed are determined for each target;
– display of radar information in a particular sector on the control panel indicator;
– radar information overlay on a digital map of the area;
– transmission of information about detected targets via the RS-232 interface to consumers;
– editing the displayed information (using symbols).

The station can also support artillery at any time of the day and season, including in the absence of optical visibility (fog, snow, rain, dust and smoke).
