The Prymary unit of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) struck the Russian army's newest Valdai radar station in the temporarily occupied Crimea, according to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.
During the first two weeks of March, specialists from the HUR's Prymary special unit continued to destroy Russian air defense systems in Crimea.
During one of the successful raids, military intelligence officers struck the Valdai radar station. This is the latest Russian system designed to detect and combat small drones.
Prymary also disabled a radio jamming station, a relay station for Geran/Gerbera-type drones, and a GLONASS navigation system complex.
