Ukrainian drones operated by the Prymary (“Ghosts”) unit of the Defense Intelligence Directorate (HUR) struck multiple Russian air defense assets in occupied Crimea, Militarnyi reported late on 1 May.
The HUR’s video published via the Telegram channel Russia no context shows at least two drones hitting Russian targets. The first drone struck a logistics truck near a wooded area. The second targeted an ST-68 radar station, used for tracking low-altitude objects.
The footage also showed a Kasta-2E2 radar system, previously featured in HUR-released videos. This mobile three-coordinate radar monitors airspace, identifies aerial targets—particularly at low altitudes—and transmits their coordinates to air defense systems.
Subsequent footage captured a Ukrainian drone hitting a 9S15 Obzor-3 radar, which monitors large airspace sectors and can track up to 200 aerodynamic targets simultaneously. Another drone then struck a 9S32 Imbir missile guidance station, part of Russia’s integrated air defense.
Operators from the Prymary unit reportedly reached and struck S-300 and S-300V surface-to-air missile launchers, inflicting further damage to Russian air defense capabilities.
Militarnyi notes that one drone seen entering occupied Crimea bore the silhouette of the Rubaka—a Ukrainian long-range drone capable of flying up to 500 kilometers.
