We also reported that recently, Ukrainian military intelligence destroyed a Russian An-26 military transport plane, along with two other enemy targets in temporarily occupied Crimea.

On the night of November 1–2, the Defense Intelligence (HUR) attacked the command post of an S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile division on a combat position, as well as a Russian 92N6E multifunction radar in Crimea.

In September, Ukrainian intelligence reported the destruction of two Russian Be-12 Chaika amphibious aircraft in temporarily occupied Crimea.

This occurred on September 21 during an operation by the Prymary HUR special unit of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The intelligence service emphasized that this was the first recorded strike on a Be-12 in history.

According to HUR, along with the two amphibious aircraft, Ukrainian forces also disabled another Russian aviation asset during the same raid — a multi-purpose Mi-8 helicopter. The operation dealt a significant blow to the enemy’s capabilities, given the rarity and high value of these aerial platforms.
