Ukrainian intel hits Russian radar, crippling S-400 system in Crimea
Special forces from Ukraine’s Military Intelligence (HUR) carried out a successful drone strike on a Russian radar system in the temporarily occupied Crimea, the military wrote on Aug. 29.
The operation targeted and destroyed a 91N6E radar system, a critical component of Russia’s S-400 Triumph air defense complex.
The radar was hit and destroyed by a drone, intelligence officers confirmed, noting that this was a high-value asset, and its elimination has effectively “blinded” one of Russia’s S-400 systems.
Footage published by the HUR shows a direct hit on the radar and a subsequent explosion.
Earlier that night, residents of occupied Sevastopol reported a series of loud explosions. Russian air defenses were also reportedly active in Yevpatoria and near the Belbek airbase.
Ukrainian intelligence later confirmed that it also struck a Russian Buyan-M class missile corvette — a carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles — in the Azov Sea, near occupied Crimea.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
