Ukrainian intelligence forces struck three Russian Mi-8 helicopters in temporarily occupied Crimea. The 55Zh6U Nebo-U radar system was also targeted, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
According to the report, the Russian occupiers’ aviation fleet in temporarily occupied Crimea has once again been reduced following a successful operation by the specialists of the Main Intelligence Directorate special operations unit Prymary.
As a result of the strike, three enemy multipurpose Mi-8 helicopters were destroyed, along with the high-value Russian 55Zh6U Nebo-U radar system.

HUR operations
Recently, it was reported that Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) forces struck a ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet near Novorossiysk. The vessel is a multifunctional MPSV07-class ship, commissioned by Russia in 2015.
Ukrainian special forces also recently carried out a successful raid in the Black Sea, destroying an enemy BL-680 patrol boat, a Harpoon-B radar system, and a Groza electronic warfare complex.
Additionally, in August, HUR operatives struck the Russian small missile ship Buyan-M in the Sea of Azov. This vessel is equipped to carry Kalibr cruise missiles.
