Ukraine will receive six more TRML-4D radar stations from the German company HENSOLDT by the end of 2024. These stations use advanced AESA radar technology to detect and classify various types of airborne targets, focusing on small, fast, and low-flying ones. They are capable of detecting and tracking around 1500 targets within a radius of up to 250 km. #Ukraine #DefenseTech
