Recently, in Luhansk Oblast, fighters of the 412th Nemesis Regiment, in cooperation with the aerial reconnaissance unit of one of the State Border Guard Service units, located and hit this very rare specimen."

The station can locate sources of radio emission and determine their coordinates, and it can impose radio interference on satellite communications, GPS navigation and GSM base stations.
