Details: DIU added that the drones had also destroyed the Nebo-SVU, Podlyot K-1 and 96L6E radar stations.
They noted that after the destruction of air defence assets on the peninsula, including by the Prymary unit, Russian troops in Crimea began concealing military facilities in dome-like structures.
“One such dome was hit by military intelligence special forces on Ai-Petri, where the Russians had placed an air defence base belonging to the 3rd Radio-Technical Regiment (military unit 85683-A),” DIU concluded.
Background: Earlier, DIU released footage of the first use of FPV drones launched from boats in the open sea. This occurred during a raid off the coast of Crimea on 11 September 2024.
