Ukrainian forces targeted several high-value components of Russia’s air defense network in occupied Donbas on Nov. 29, the Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) reported on Dec. 2, sharing videos of the successful strikes.
The Department of Active Operations “once again attacked the radars and launchers of the occupiers’ anti-aircraft missile systems” in the region.
In one night alone, Ukrainian drones destroyed an S-300V 9A83 launcher that was on combat duty, as well as two 1L125 Niobium-SV radar stations. These high-cost assets are used to track targets and guide air-defense operations.
According to the HUR, these strikes have significantly weakened Russia’s ability to monitor the airspace over the region, creating new operational opportunities for the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
