Drones from Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence carried out a new offensive against Russian air defenses in occupied Crimea.

The operation, led by the special unit known as the “Ghosts,” resulted in the neutralization of three radars, including the 96L6 model, which is part of the advanced S-400 Triumph system.

In addition to these targets, the P-18 Terek and 55Zh6U Nebo-U radars were destroyed, as well as a Russian BK-16 type fast landing ship. Images released show Ukrainian drones evading missiles fired by Pantsir systems as they approached their objectives on the peninsula.

Recent operations also targeted air defense equipment in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, including Niobiy-SV radars and a Buk-M3 launcher. There was also an attack on the Valdai radar, located at the Dzhankoi airfield, further weakening Russia’s capabilities in the occupied region.
