⚡Destroyed enemy artillery reconnaissance complex 1K148 "Yastreb-AV"

⚫️ While conducting reconnaissance in the Southern direction, the BpAK crew of the 73rd Maritime Center of the SOF discovered the artillery reconnaissance complex 1K148 "Yastreb-AV"

⚫️ SOF operators together with a friendly unit of the Defense Forces of the 140th ORB adjusted HIMARS fire on the enemy target

⚫ As a result of fire damage, the enemy's "Yastreb-AV" complex was destroyed

For reference: "Yastreb-AV" is considered the most modern Russian radar complex, which is used for reconnaissance of artillery firing positions. With the help of radar, he is able to track the trajectory of the enemy's missiles and calculate the exact coordinates of the positions of his artillery. This data is transmitted to the artillery for defeating the positions.

I thought the main difference is that the rocket doesn’t know where it is or where it isn’t.

It is valid for most rockets as they are meant to be used as a powered artillery round.

A good example of a guided rocket is no other than space launch vehicles.

But I'm no rocket scientist (pun intended), I only wrote from my own memories of Googling on those subjects.

I think that was just a reference to this meme.

Good find, I wasn't aware of that meme.

On that linked page is probably the best version of the meme: The Missile Knows Where it is (Remix)
