According to the latest reports from Ukrainian intelligence, a precise operation conducted by special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has once again targeted the occupied Crimea.

The primary objective of this operation was to disable high-tech Russian military infrastructure that protects the occupation authorities and provides radio and radar control over the territory.

The operation resulted in the destruction of several critical systems, including the 96L6-AP radar station belonging to the S-400 “Triumf” missile system, a vital component of Crimea’s defense network.Video footage released by the intelligence agency shows drones striking expensive and strategically significant targets for the Russian military.

Among the hit objects are the Utyos-T and Mıs radar systems; the RТ-70 radio telescope; the Glonass satellite system within a dome; the MР-10М1 coastal radar system; and the 96L6-AП radar station from the S-400 missile system.

These actions symbolize a serious blow to Russian defense capabilities in the region, aiming to disable the infrastructure that sustains control over the peninsula.This is not the first such operation carried out by Ukrainian intelligence in Crimea.

On the night of August 28, Ukrainian special operations successfully destroyed the 91Н6Е radar complex from the same S-400 “Triumf” system, further demonstrating the high level of activity and precision of Ukrainian military intelligence units.

Their efforts significantly weaken Russia’s defensive systems, making the occupation more fragile and undermining Moscow’s ability to effectively defend the strategically crucial Crimean territory.
