I am dubious about this report until I can find confirmation.
On searching I could only find ONE other source from a secondary source, however found this.
Satellite imagery confirms a Russian strategic early warning radar site in the southwestern end of the country was substantially damaged in a reported Ukrainian drone attack earlier this week. This looks to be a first-of-its-kind attack on a site linked to Russia's general strategic defense. As such, it points to a new and worrisome dimension to the conflict, especially when it comes to the potential use of nuclear weapons.
A satellite image taken on May 23 that The War Zone obtained from Planet Labs of the Armavir Radar Station in Russia's southwestern Krasnodar Krai shows significant debris around one of the site's two Voronezh-DM radar buildings. These are ultra-high-frequency (UHF) over-the-horizon (OTH) radars that are part of Russia's nuclear ballistic missile early warning system.
Here is Hal Turner’s coverage
One of Russia's absolutely key over-the-horizon, nuclear-early-warning radar sites has been hit by drone attack, BLINDING Russia from missiles launched at them from . . . the Middle East.
The 818th Separate Radio-Technical Unit at the Armavir Radar Station located in Krasnodar Krai, Russia is now knocked-out. Here are images of the two gigantic radar buildings at that radar site (Click on image TWICE to fully enlarge):
The map below shows where this particular station is:
Normally, the entire Russia early-warning radar system provides the coverage seen in the graphic below:
With the damage to the two radar stations at the Armavir Radar Station, there is now a GAPING HOLE in Russia's early-warning system against nuclear attack.
Russia is now a sitting Duck for a nuclear first strike, not only against their Strategic Nuclear missile silos, but also against all the major population centers inside Russia.
Submarine launched nukes from the far eastern Mediterranean Sea, land-launched or even air-launched missiles from Turkey, from ISRAEL, Sub-launched missiles from the Red Sea, ALL can no longer be detected by Russia.
The coverage map below is highlighted below to show the unimaginable scope of the GAPING HOLES.
Of course, this is being credited to Ukraine, but the radar stations that were hit DO NOT COVER UKRAINE. Clearly, this hit was concocted by the US/EU and NATO; they are the ONLY entities that benefit from this. (Correction: There is another beneficiary . . . Israel . . . can now launch ballistic or nuclear missiles at Iran, and Russia will not be able to warn Iran.)
Why would we do this? Unless . . . . we're planning a nuclear first-strike upon Russia!
Worse Danger Now Than the "Cuban Missile Crisis"
Today's attack opens the door for a full, complete, and absolute DECAPITATION ATTACK upon Russia. We can now hit ALL their strategic missile silos and take out ALL of their national government and they wouldn't even know the missiles had been launched until it was too late.
How long will the Russians wait - with themselves completely vulnerable-- before they have to decide to "Use them or Lose them?" We may have just FORCED the Russians to launch a nuclear first-strike.
By any realistic measurement, this is now an "Existential Threat to the existence of Russia." We could literally be like the song "On the Eve of Destruction!"
Notice too, this was done on the big "Memorial Day" holiday weekend here in the U.S. Many Americans are traveling to the beach, to the mountains, away from home, away from all their money and preps.
BASIC INFO ABOUT ARMAVIR RADAR STATION
Armavir Radar Station is an early warning radar station near Armavir in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. It is a key part of the Russian early warning system against missile attack and is run by the Russian Space Forces. There are two radars here - one faces south west and one south east. They provide radar coverage of the Middle East. The satellite image below shows the station from above:
The station is located on the former Baronovsky Airfield 3 kilometres (1.9mi) south west of the village of Glubokiy and 12 kilometres (7.5mi) south west ofArmavir.
The station was described as starting to operate at the end of 2006 and then entering "experimental combat mode" in 2008.
On the day in 2009 that Russia lost coverage from radars in Ukraine it was announced that it had "begun operations".
In May 2012 it was announced that it would go on combat duty before the end of 2012. In December 2012 it was announced it will be in the first quarter of 2013.
On 6 June 2013 it was commissioned by order of the President Vladimir Putin visiting the Central Command Post of the Russian Armed Forces. There is a planned second segment, which will overlap zone of the Gabala radar station lost in Ukraine.
On 3 September 2013 Armavir detected two US/Israeli ballistic test launches in the Mediterranean towards Syria.
Now, they can't detect those anymore. Or our missile subs launching from the eastern Med, the Red Sea, The Gulf of Oman, or even south of the Horn of Africa off Somalia. Russia are now sitting Ducks.
Hal Turner Snap Remarks
I earnestly hope you have taken my long urged advice to have Emergency food, water, medicine, a generator, fuel for it, communications gear like CB or HAM, and all the little emergency things you need like flashlights, batteries, portable radio with spare batteries, FIRST-AID KIT, gas grill or spare charcoal and lighter fluid, a manual can opener, and so on. Looks to me like time is up.

Ukraine launches major missile strike on key Russian air defence sites in Crimea
The overnight missile attack hit a key radar and air defence facility of the Russian army 'where high-ranking officers were present' - and it is the latest in systematic attacks on the radar and air defence forces of the Russian Armed Forces in Crimea
Ukraine has launched a significant missile assault on Russian-occupied Crimea during the night, targeting a crucial radar and air defence installation where it's believed high-ranking officers were present. The peninsula was rocked by explosions at ten different sites, with the intense bombardment involving long-range ATACMS missiles marking one of the most severe attacks of the conflict.
Russia has also reported the destruction of marine drones near Crimea's shores. Emergency vehicles were seen heading to Semidvorye, close to Alushta, where a communications and radar base of the Russian military was allegedly struck by at least six ATACMS ballistic missiles.
It's reported that the buildings hit were "where high-ranking military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces were located at that moment." These strikes are part of ongoing systematic assaults on Russian radar and air defence in Crimea, stripping Putin's forces of their ability to protect the annexed territory, reports the Mirror.
Nato secretaries-general do not normally attack the policies of the alliance’s biggest and most important member country. But Jens Stoltenberg, whose ten-year stint in charge is coming to an end, has done just that. In an interview with The Economist on May 24th, he called on nato allies supplying weapons to Ukraine to end their prohibition on using them to strike military targets in Russia. Mr Stoltenberg’s clear, if unnamed, target was the policy maintained by Joe Biden, America’s president, of controlling what Ukraine can and cannot attack with American-supplied systems.
Hungary is reassessing its role within the bloc as it has no wish to take part in a conflict against Moscow, the PM has said
Hungary is reevaluating its rMember of British Parliament: "We are already at war with Russia; They won't tell the people until July or August"
Speaking on local Kossuth Radio, Orban stated that his country has already been relegated to the role of a non-participant within the US-led military bloc due to its stance on Ukraine, and Budapest is now working on legal ways to retain its membership but reserve the right to abstain from joining NATO operations it disagrees with.
“Hungary’s position must be redefined, our lawyers and officials are working on ways to allow Hungary to continue to exist as a NATO member without participating in NATO activities outside the bloc’s territory. We need to create a new approach, a new definition for our position as a pro-peace force within NATO,” Orban said.
According to the prime minister, there are “alarming similarities” between the emotionally charged media publications and statements by Western politicians regarding the Ukraine conflict and the atmosphere preceding the First and Second World Wars.

“What is happening today in Brussels and Washington… looks like warming up for a possible direct military conflict. We can safely call it the preparation of Europe’s entry into the war,” Orban said, adding that there are working groups within NATO that are assessing the best ways for the bloc to further boost its participation in the conflict.
He warned that the end result of these actions could be a direct conflict between the EU, NATO, and Russia – a “grim prospect,” as the conflict would involve nuclear powers.
British MP Andrew Bridgen confirming on a radio show today:
"We are actually at war with Russia now... They're not going to tell the people probably until July or August; maybe later."
"The whole thing's a pantomime in Parliament... It's not a race between the blue and the red team to see who crosses the finish line. This is a baton handover on all the big issues: Net Zero, Covid response, the WHO, the trans agenda."
