Reconnaissance men destroy Russian air defense radar systems in Crimea

Special Forces of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine struck two key Russian air defense targets in the occupied Crimea.

Ukrainian intelligence reported this on Telegram, publishing a video.

Masters of the crews of the Unmanned Systems Control Department of the Department of Active Operations of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine destroyed the 48Ya6-K1 Podlet radar station and the RLM-M radar module from the 55Zh6M Nebo-M complex.

It is noted that the strike on the RLM-M was particularly indicative: it was hit by a drone while the Russian military was trying to leave the position of combat duty. This operation took place on the eve of the Day of Military Intelligence of Ukraine. Earlier, the fighters of the "Ghosts of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine have already destroyed a number of other Russian air defense facilities in the occupied Crimea.

On the night of August 9-10, 2025, units of the Resistance Movement of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a stationary tracer radar complex TRLK-10 "Skala-M" in Abrikosivka, in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

TRLK-10 'Skala-M' is a Soviet-Russian tracking radar complex that provides primary and secondary detection of air targets. This radar is designed to control air traffic, in particular on routes and in approach zones, and is an important component of the air traffic control system with a range of up to 350 km. The SSO emphasized that the destruction of this complex will significantly weaken the enemy's ability to use aircraft, which the occupiers use to attack civilian infrastructure and civilians.

In the occupied Crimea, Ukrainian reconnaissance men hit a unique Russian radar station that exists in very limited numbers. This 98L6 Yenisei radar is the latest multifunctional radar used as part of the S-500 Prometheus and possibly S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems.
