Ukraine’s Military Intelligence (HUR) said on Friday that its Ghosts [Prymary] special reconnaissance and strike unit executed a series of precise drone attacks on Russian military aircraft, radars, and other warfighting infrastructure in occupied Crimea, destroying eight targets over the past two weeks.
Crimea has been under Russian occupation since 2014 and remains a key hub for Moscow’s air, naval and missile operations against Ukraine. The peninsula hosts airfields, radar sites, electronic warfare units and supply routes that Russia relies on to maintain its campaign.
HUR reported that the unit continues what it described as the systematic demilitarization of the peninsula, targeting aviation assets, radar systems and logistical routes used by Russian forces.
According to the agency, Ukrainian drones hit:
• Su-24 fighter-bomber
• Domed radar antenna
• Kasta-2E2 (39N6E) (NATO: Flatface-E) target acquisition radar system
• Kronshtadt Orion combat UAV
• Two Podlet K1 (48Ya6-K1) mobile phased-array, extremely low altitude, target tracking radars, used with the S-300 (NATO: SA-20) and S-400 (NATO: SA-21) surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems.
• a military cargo train
• Ural 6x6 military logistics truck
HUR also released video footage showing the strikes. The clips capture drones approaching targets at low altitude and recording explosions after impact. Several night-time operations depict hits on radar systems, aircraft and transport assets, highlighting the precision of the strikes and the unit’s ability to operate deep behind enemy lines.
“We continue the fight. Glory to Ukraine,” the statement said.
Last week Ukrainian forces hit multiple Russian targets hundreds of kilometers apart, striking a refinery in Saratov, a drone storage site at the Saky airfield in occupied Crimea, a series of power substations, and military depots in occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The long-range precision drone strikes targeted key military, industrial, and energy infrastructure deep inside Russian-controlled territory.
