This seems really low considering one of the early warning radars taken out cost around $1bil on its own.... and it's possible a second one was at least damaged. (one in Qatar the other in Bahrain)

NSA (Naval support) Bahrain lost a ground station (maybe two), not a radar.

Possibly. There are a lot of things around that story that seem very off

Aside from the obvious bad AI images floating around the one credible looking video shows a shaheed flying into a radome. A Radome in the middle of a bunch of buildings. You don't put radars in between buildings. And if it's a phased array I don't think it would be in a round Radome either.

They seem to have hit something of value, but don't think it was a 1bn radar

Everything around this smells like the Iran hilariously oversized F35 misinformation

The only footage I've seen is damage to maybe a satellite receiver. Have you seen proof of the radar damage
