WATCH: Ukraine’s ‘Ghosts’ Unit Strikes Key Russian Air Defense Systems in Crimea

Ukraine’s Military Intelligence (HUR) released new footage on Friday, Nov. 21, showing a series of precision strikes by its elite “Ghosts” special unit, which continues to dismantle Russian air-defense and military assets in temporarily occupied Crimea.

According to HUR, operators of the “Ghosts” unit carried out several successful attacks over the past two weeks, targeting some of the most valuable components of Russia’s layered air-defense network, including:

• a Ka-27 naval multi-purpose helicopter

• a “Lira-A10” airfield radar system

• a 55Zh6U “Nebo-U” radar

• a dome-structured “Nebo-SV” radar

• a P-18 “Terek” radar

Exclusive footage shows the strikes in action, including a tense moment when Ukrainian operators evade a missile from a Russian Pantsir-S1 system.

Kyiv Post couldn’t independently verify the video.

“The armed struggle continues,” HUR said in its statement, praising the unit’s effectiveness.

Last week, Kyiv Post reported that the “Ghosts” unit had carried out a series of precision strikes targeting some of the most valuable components of Russia’s layered air-defense network on the Donbas front.
