If accurate (even partially) that's a great operation by Ukraine. Russia has lots of old AFVs and mobiks but precious few high tech force multipliers like AWACS. Taking those out is a huge benefit to their operations, especially at a time of year where ground forces have limited mobility.
Now breaking a hole in ground based radar means they can conduct long cruise missile and drone attacks on locked down ground assets.
