According to the newspaper, Ukraine requests 40 COBRA from Germany. However, there are only 19 COBRAs in the Bundeswehr inventory.
COBRA is a mobile 3-D Phased Array Radar based on a wheeled chassis for enemy field artillery acquisition. It is designed to detect small cross-section targets across the battlefield thanks to its AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar. With a detection range up to 100 km, COBRA may classify ammunition types and firing modes. More than 40 six-gun batteries can be located and reported to higher command in less than two minutes.
