Any indicators out there how effective 🇺🇦AN/TPQ-36 class radars have been for counter-battery fire missions against 🇷🇺 systems or whether they are still in service?
The counter-battery radars listed below presumably are AN/TPQ-36 and/or AN/TPQ-48 radar systems.

List of U.S. military assistance to Ukraine to date 👇

There is at least some circumstantial evidence that these systems have been used effectively by Ukraine.

Counter battery-radars that is. Could also be 🇺🇦1L220UK (Iskra Scientific Production Complex) et. al. Image

“[T]he 2-day bat­tle of Voz­ne­sensk, de­tails of which are only now emerg­ing, turned de­ci­sively against the Rus­sians.” Great reporting by @yarotrof 👇wsj.com/articles/ukrai…
“Judg­ing from the de­stroyed and aban­doned ar­mor, Ukrain­ian forces, which com­prised lo­cal vol­un­teers and the pro­fes­sional mil­i­tary, elim­i­nated most of a Russ­ian bat­tal­ion tac­ti­cal group on March 2 and 3.”
“We didn’t have a sin­gle tank against them, just rocket-pro­pelled grenades, Javelin mis­siles and the help of ar­tillery,” said Vadym Dom­brovsky, com­man­der of the Ukrain­ian spe­cial-forces re­con­nais­sance group in the area and a Voz­ne­sensk res­i­dent. “

Rufe nach Spezialisierung des Bundesheeres auf einige wenige Waffengattungen, sowie die komplette Abschaffung des Kampfes der verbundenen Waffen, entbehren jeder militärischen & geopolitischen Logik egal ob Mitglied der NATO oder EU-Beistandspflicht.
Spezialisierung in einem Militärbündnis macht nur Sinn wenn grundlegende militärische Fähigkeiten erhalten bleiben, die in 🇦🇹aber auch in 🇩🇪 in den letzten 30 Jahren grob vernachlässigt wurden. Das lernte auch die NATO im letzten Jahrzehnt.
Die Zukunft der Kriegsführung liegt im Kampf der verbundenen Waffen oberhalb und unterhalb des offenen Konfliktspektrums. Dies wird durch emergente Technologien (z.b. KI, Cyber etc.) nur verstärkt. Streitkräfte müssen zu multi-dimensionalen Operationen fähig sein.

Short summary of the military situation in Ukraine (March 16) 👇🧵

Limited🇷🇺 progress:

-slow 🇷🇺 advances in North to encircle Kyiv.
-Cont. 🇷🇺 slow but steady advances in South/East (especially in Donetsk Oblast

- 🇺🇦 defenses remain intact; some counterattacks
succeeded. Image
Situation around Kyiv: "We estimate Russian forces are still about 15-20km to the northwest and about 20-30km to the east. Ukrainians hold Brovary and are still defending Kyiv." (per U.S. DoD briefer)

Kyiv is not (yet) besieged.

(Very) short summary military situation in Ukraine (March 14) 👇🧵

Frontlines remain largely unchanged:
-stalled 🇷🇺 advance in North.
-🇷🇺 advance in South/East appears slow.
- 🇷🇺 made most progress in Donetsk/Luhansk Oblasts
- 🇺🇦 defenses remain intact.

map: @War_Mapper
Mil. situation in Donetsk & Luhansk Oblasts remains most tense for 🇺🇦 forces from an operational perspective.

Russian forces are reportedly pushing towards Vuhledar north of Mariupol & are attempting to encircle Severdonetsk.

This still holds 👇

Heavy shelling of Mykolaiv in South and Kharkiv in Northeast continues; push toward Odessa likely; 🇷🇺 forces are still attempting to encircle Chernihiv.

Short summary of the military situation in Ukraine (March 13) 👇🧵

Situation in North around Kyiv remains relatively stable with limited 🇷🇺 progress.

Attention needs to be paid to South and East were 🇺🇦 forces are increasingly in danger of getting cut off.

(map: @War_Mapper)
Pay attention to red arrows in South (Mykolaiv, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia + Wolnowacha) and East (Losowa and Barwenkowo) in the map above. From day 1 of the war potential encirclement/cut off of 🇺🇦 forces east of Dnpr was a real danger.
Exact strength/progress of 🇷🇺 advances is unclear. 2 major questions. 1: can Russian forces maintain momentum and succeed without large follow-on forces? 2: can 🇺🇦 fight delaying actions and retreat in orderly manner or withdraw to urban centers to attrite 🇷🇺 forces from there?
