Every little helps to defend Ukraine.
The radar is an old 25kW system with substantial range.
Something like this could be ripped for use with interceptor deomes using a combination of command method and radar reflection at shorter ranges due to the small size of targets now. I think you can do that very cheaply.
Wiki:
The system is able to acquire and begin tracking targets using the 1S91 “Самоходная установка разведки и наведения” (SPRGU – “Self-propelled Reconnaissance and Guidance Unit” / NATO: “Straight Flush” radar) at 75 km (47 mi) and begin illumination and guidance at 28 km (17 mi). IFF is also performed using this radar. It can only guide one or two missiles to a single target at any time. The missile is initially command guided with terminal semi-active radar homing (SARH), with target illumination provided by the “Straight Flush” radar. Detonation is via either the impact or proximity fuze.
