On the night of 4 October, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces and the insurgent movement “Chernaia Iskra" or the Black Spark destroyed a transport-and-loading vehicle for the Iskander operational-tactical missile system used to kill the Ukrainians. The operation took place on Russian territory.
Destroying Iskander launchers is challenging due to their constant mobility and ability to relocate.
The operation occurred near the village of Ovsyannikove in Kursk Oblast. This region borders Ukraine's Sumy Oblast. The destroyed vehicle was used to transport, load, and prepare missiles for launch that were fired into Ukrainian territory.
A tactic of a thousand cuts against the enemy
The Ukrainian troops and partisans also destroyed a 1L122 “Garmon” radar station. The radar had been operating near the village of Nyzhnii Reutets in Kursk Oblast, Russia.
The compact radar was designed to detect and track aerial targets, as well as provide target designation.
"Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces continue to inflict a 'thousand cuts' on the enemy, hastening its operational and strategic collapse," they said on the Telegram channel.
Earlier, Ukrainian air defenders shot down the Russian army’s newest reconnaissance drone, "Kniaz Veshchiy Oleg", named after the ruler of Kyivan Rus.
