  "textContent": "Russia's Defense Ministry announced the destruction of a US-manufactured counter-battery radar system used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The statement identifies the equipment as the AN/TPQ-36 radar, a system designed to detect artillery fire and often described as the \"ears” of artillery units.\nAccording to the ministry, units from the Northern Group of Forces carried out the strike, eliminating the radar installation. Officials did not disclose the precise location of the system, but operational details indicate continued military activity near Russia's border regions, specifically within buffer zones in the Sumy and Kharkiv areas.\nThe Defense Ministry also reported substantial Ukrainian losses during the same period of combat operations. The statement cites more than 165 Ukrainian personnel killed and the destruction of ten military vehicles.",
