Ukrainian intelligence forces are using drones to attack Russian air defense systems in temporarily occupied Crimea, according to the Defense Intelligence (GUR) on Facebook.

As noted by GUR, drones of the Prymary (Ghosts) special unit continue their combat operations in temporarily occupied Crimea.

Intelligence has released a video showing drones attacking expensive enemy radar stations and command posts. The targets included:

  • 48Ya6-K1 Podlyot – a mobile short- and medium-range radar station designed to detect aerial targets, including low-flying ones.

  • KP BRLS RM-10M1E – a command post used for operating a combat radar station; the RM-10M1E modification is used in air defense systems.

  • 9S32 Imbir – an illumination and guidance radar for the S-300V/S-300V4 air defense systems, used for tracking targets and guiding missiles.

  • KP RLS ST-68 – a command post for the ST-68 radar station, used for detecting aerial targets, including low-observable ones.

  • 39N6 Kasta-2E2 – a radar station designed to detect aerial targets at low and extremely low altitudes.

Additionally, Ukrainian drones struck the tugboat Fedor Uryupin and a Russian Kamaz truck.

On March 19, it was reported that Ukrainian intelligence forces had attacked several enemy targets in Crimea with drones, including radar stations and the tugboat Fedor Uryupin.

At that time, an intelligence drone evaded a missile launched from a Russian Pantsir-S1 system and continued its attack.
