This strike is extremely confusing. It's a space radar thats only other use case is as an early-warning radar for ICBMs (that is, in the event of nuclear war).
Why is Ukraine going after Russia's nuclear triad? What the fuck is going on?
Well that's not at all concerning...
I used to think nobody was stupid enough to kick off an apocalyptic nuclear war but in the last two years I feel like that belief may have been a bit naive.
I guess they are trying to achieve the possibility of a decisive first strike for USA.
Open source researchers on social media suggested a Krasukha electronic warfare radar jammer had been positioned on the complex.
That's why. The jammer is messing with Ukrainian operations and Russia put it there so they could scream "nuclear site!" if Ukraine ever went after it.
