The HUR special unit Ghosts carried out another operation in Crimea, destroying several key Russian air defense and communications systems, including an S-400 complex, reports the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The fighters of the HUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continue a systematic campaign to dismantle the air defense network of Russian forces in Crimea.
A recent list of high-value targets struck in the operation includes:
- Utyos-T radar complex;
- RT-70 radio telescope;
- GLONASS system facility housed under a protective dome;
- MR-10M1 Mys M1 radar;
- 96L6-AP radar, part of the S-400 air defense system.
"Demilitarization of temporarily occupied Crimea continues," the HUR noted.
Ukrainian intelligence recently also succeeded in striking another high-value target in temporarily occupied Crimea. This involved a Russian radar system from the S-400 air defense system complex.
Earlier this summer, drones from the Ghosts unit had successfully targeted another S-400 air defense system in Crimea. At that time, the attack hit both the control and detection radars, as well as a launcher.
