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.
