On the night of May 29-30, drones of the Security Service of Ukraine attacked the Russian Nebo-SVU long-range radar detection system. The cost of the complex is $100 million, the sources say.

According to the sources, the drones were an in-house development of SSU military counterintelligence.

Russian radar system

The complex was located near Armyansk. It controlled a 380-kilometer section of the frontline and provided terrorists with protection of their facilities in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

After the attack, space reconnaissance systems detected a blackout of the Nebo-SVU radar. After that, its operation was no longer monitored.

The SSU special operation made the Russian air defense blind on a large section of the front.

Attack on Crimea on night of May 29-30

On the night of May 29-30, Ukrainian fighters struck two Russian Tunets boats in Crimea. This is not the first time these boats have been destroyed. For example, they were attacked last year.

Later, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine said that its scouts had hit four Tunets boats, not two.
