Ukrainian intelligence successfully destroyed three key Russian radar systems in Crimea, continuing a pattern of strategic strikes on military infrastructure that have been crippling Russia’s defense capabilities in the region.
(Kyiv) – Ukrainian military intelligence has struck again in occupied Crimea, taking out three more of Russia’s expensive radar systems. The operation, carried out by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, led to the destruction of one Kasta-2e2 radar station and two Podyot radar systems. These radar systems are vital to Russia’s surveillance and military operations in the region, and their loss represents a significant blow to Russian capabilities.
The strikes, which took place on November 29, 2024, were part of Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to target military infrastructure in Crimea. These radar systems were considered high-value assets, used for detecting and tracking airborne targets, making them crucial to Russia’s air defense operations. The Kasta-2e2 and Podyot radars were among the most advanced of their kind, designed to detect low-flying aircraft and missile threats.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense’s intelligence service (GUR) has confirmed that the operation was successful, and the radar systems were destroyed without any reported casualties. The destruction of these radar systems is part of Ukraine’s broader strategy to neutralize Russia’s military advantage in the region.
| Radar System | Location | Date of Destruction | Estimated Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kasta-2e2 | Crimea | November 29, 2024 | High value (exact not disclosed) |
| Podyot | Crimea | November 29, 2024 | High value (exact not disclosed) |
| Podlet | Crimea | November 28, 2024 | $5 million |
This successful operation follows a similar strike on November 28, 2024, when Ukrainian intelligence destroyed a Podlet radar system worth $5 million, further intensifying the pressure on Russian forces in the region. The Podlet system, used for detecting low-flying targets, is critical to Russia’s air defense, and its destruction dealt a heavy blow to their strategic capabilities.
These operations highlight the increasing effectiveness of Ukrainian intelligence in disrupting Russian military operations in occupied territories, continuing a pattern of success that has rattled Russia’s forces.
