Agents of the Ukrainian partisan movement Atesh have identified a secret Russian radar company stationed in temporarily occupied Sevastopol - a critical component of Russia's layered air defense system along the western coast of Crimea, the Atesh partisan movement reports.

According to the partisans, during their latest reconnaissance mission, they located an independent radar company in the Fiolent neighborhood - a key asset used to monitor and secure airspace not only over Sevastopol but the entire western coastline of the peninsula.

"Our agent managed to identify the 55Zh6U Nebo radar system - one of the longest-range radar stations - as well as a tower-mounted antenna used for a radio relay station," Atesh reported.

The radar site is designed to track aerodynamic and ballistic targets, while the tower supports data transmission between command centers, air defense units, and other military formations across the Russian system.

"This facility is a critical element of the occupiers' layered air defense network in Crimea and plays a vital role in detecting and coordinating responses to aerial threats," the partisans emphasized.

Atesh added that all collected intelligence has already been shared with Ukraine's Defense Forces to support potential operations aimed at eliminating Russia's illegal military presence in Crimea.

In recent weeks, ATESH revealed how Ukrainian recruits in Russian forces from occupied territories have been avoiding direct assaults.

Earlier this month, the group sabotaged a Russian railway line in the Zaporizhzhia direction and carried out reconnaissance operations at a military port in Taganrog.

Partisans have also staged multiple sabotage acts targeting Russian rail infrastructure in temporarily occupied areas of the Zaporizhzhia region.
