#4 reportedly accompanied

Probably some weird Russian word meaning monitored...
Yandex translates it as "under maintenance|escort|accompaniment".

I get that people want their own language, what with tribalism and all, but do you really need a different word for everything? The world would go around much faster if people would speak English like everyone else.

#5 Russian language is extremely context sensitive.

Some phrases in Russian don't make sense in English. The closest analog is idioms.

Additionally, there are several concepts that are defined by a single word that cant be defined in Russian without using a number of words which could in translation confuse the translation,

Conversely, there are some concepts in English that require several words, a phrase or an idiom that the Russian use a single word.

So, the phrase that Russian radar stations accompanied the targets make perfect sense.
