Partisans report the operation of a Podlet radar station deployed by Russian forces near Sevastopol Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea, according to the ATESH partisan movement.

Russian troops, fearing additional strikes by Ukraine’s Defense Forces, hope the radar will provide them an advantage. However, partisans advise the Russians to temper their expectations.

"Although the Podlet is a 360-degree radar system capable of detecting aerial targets at low and extremely low altitudes in a complex interference environment, we have some 'surprises' they're certainly not prepared for…," ATESH reports.

Ukrainian partisans' activities

Recently, partisans observed the transfer and buildup of enemy reserve forces in occupied Henichesk in the Kherson region. Russians appear to be preparing an offensive on the right bank of Kherson, yet such plans are causing unease among their officers.

Additionally, Russian forces are moving ammunition and arms using civilian trucks, motivated by concerns over potential Ukrainian military strikes.

Meanwhile, ATESH partisans have also located an abandoned Black Sea Fleet command post in Sevastopol.
