SOF fighters disrupt the enemy’s plans

Recently, SOF fighters in temporarily occupied Crimea disabled several Russian logistics facilities. Infrastructure objects that ensured the functioning and combat supply of Russian army units were destroyed and damaged.

On August 20, SOF fighters in the Zaporizhzhia direction destroyed a Russian S-300V surface-to-air missile system worth $40 million. Its elimination significantly reduced the enemy’s ability to cover its own positions and equipment from strikes. Together with the SAM system, two more pieces of equipment were neutralized, and the entire ammunition stock detonated.

Also, on August 21, the Special Operations Forces successfully struck the rolling stock with fuel near Dzhankoi. The special operation disrupted Russian logistics in temporarily occupied Crimea.

During the night of August 24, long-range drones of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Special Operations Forces attacked the production facilities of the port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region.
