This is done e.g. to determine where the Shaheds (Iranian drones Shahed-136-PAP) were shot down, where the Ukrainian air defense is operating. Because at night (and then the drone attack was carried out ), anti-aircraft missile systems are primarily used. They mark their location and then correct the plans of their attacks using rockets.

The Russians will also use swarming tactics by first launching decoys to get the Patriot operators to light up their radar, get a lock-on to their locations & then fire their Kalibr cruise missiles at them.
The Russians have shown incredible ability to adapt to fighting & defeating Western weapons system. They have even learnt to beat Himars projectiles by studying their algorithm.
So radar and data collection units does their job well.
