The 1L260 Zoopark-1M is a mobile artillery navigation radar system designed to detect artillery missile positions even in heavy electronic countermeasures (ECM) environments. In addition, the 1L260 can detect sources from mortars and grenades as well as tactical ballistic missile launchers.
The 1L260 radar system can detect 155mm shells at a range of 23 km or 27 km for 203mm shells. It can detect artillery rockets at a range of 32 to 45 km. An ATACMS-sized tactical ballistic missile can be detected at a range of 65 km.
The 1L260 can be ready to deploy or evacuate in 5 minutes while operating for more than 8 hours tracking 12 targets simultaneously. In azimuth, it covers an area between 2.5 and 90 degrees.
I’m pretty confident now.
That vehicle is the 1L261 radar of the 1L260 Zoopark-1M countervailing radar complex. Another important radar system was lost to the Russian war machine… of course according to plan! pic.twitter.com/gyTIouDmrA
