According to the report, Ukrainian drones destroyed two 92N6E multifunctional radars, which are responsible for detecting, tracking targets, and guiding missiles — with the ability to simultaneously track up to 100 targets and guide up to 72 missiles. In addition, two 91N6E detection radars were also hit — critical equipment for identifying threats and coordinating missile launches.
The fifth destroyed component was not specified, but the operation is another demonstration of the vulnerability of the Russian system in the face of modern asymmetric warfare tactics. The S-400 Triumph, widely promoted by Russian propaganda as one of the world’s most powerful air defense systems, has faced recurring failures against coordinated drone attacks in the large-scale war that began in 2022.
The “Ghosts” unit continues to carry out sustained attacks on strategic targets in the Crimean Peninsula, undermining Russia’s ability to maintain air dominance in the region.
