CRIMEA, Mar. 12 — Over February, drone operators of Ukraine’s state intelligence agency’s (HUR’s) unit Prymary (“Ghosts” from Ukrainian) damaged Russian air defense equipment in Russian-occupied Crimea, reported the press service of the Ukrainian Intelligence.

Ukrainian drones hit the 48Ya6-K1 Podlet radar station, which the Russians use to detect low-altitude air targets, such as cruise missiles and drones, said the Information and Analytical Center Militarnyi.

Among the damaged equipment, there are a 39N6 Kasta-2E2 radar station with a panoramic view to control the air and identify coordinates and air targets and Sopka-2 radar station that identifies aircraft and its range and altitude.

Ukrainian drones also hit a P-18 Terek radar station, a ground relay station for Geran and Gerbera drones, an RSP-6M2 radar landing system, and an electronic warfare station, HUR said.
