Servicemen of the Special Forces unit "Ghosts of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine conducted a successful operation in the occupied Crimea.

This was reported on its official media resources by the DIU's press service, which published a video edited from footage taken by the barrage munitions themselves.

The strikes were carried out by kamikaze drones on key military facilities. In particular, the ship's Ka-27 multifunctional helicopter, whose main purpose is to search for and destroy submarines in the open sea, was destroyed.

In addition, the enemy's air defense system suffered significant losses. The Special Forces hit a whole complex of advanced radar stations used to detect air targets. Among the destroyed objects are the airfield radar complex "Lira-A10", radar station 55Zh6U "Nebo-U", radar "Nebo-SV" in a dome structure, and radar P-18 "Terek". The destruction of these systems significantly impairs the capabilities of Russian air defense and intelligence on the peninsula.

It is difficult to assess the extent of damage to the targets from the video. Nevertheless, the video demonstrates the skill of the operators: in particular, the drone successfully dodged a missile from the interventionists' Pantsyr anti-aircraft missile and gun system. Against the backdrop of these events, a migratory bird key was also captured. The destruction of the radar complex significantly impairs the capabilities of Russian air defense and intelligence on the peninsula.

As a reminder, on the night of November 22, Ukrainian drones attacked the temporarily occupied Crimea, in particular, Krasnoperekopsk, where the 220 kV Krasnoperekopsk substation is located. According to open sources, this is one of the key nodes of the Crimean power system, which provides the main power supply to a large part of the peninsula.
