In the first two weeks of March, fighters of the “Prymara” special unit of Ukraine’s military intelligence struck two enemy landing boats, as well as a modern Russian radar system in temporarily occupied Crimea.

A video of the strike was published on Facebook by Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence.

“During the first two weeks of March, specialists of the ‘Prymara’ special unit of Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence continued destroying Russian air defence systems on the temporarily occupied peninsula,” the statement said.

During one of the successful raids, Ukrainian intelligence operatives hit a modern Russian “Valday” radar system.

This system is designed to detect and counter small unmanned aerial vehicles and is considered one of the newest elements in Russia’s air defence network.

In addition, a number of key enemy military assets were disabled as a result of precision strikes, including:

  • an electronic warfare jamming station;

  • a relay unit for Geran-type drones;

  • elements of the GLONASS navigation system.

Ukrainian forces also destroyed two Project 02510 BK-16 landing boats that were moving with their crews on board.

  • Recently, special forces of Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence also struck two Russian military vessels: the railway ferry Slavyanin was put out of action, and the vessel Avangard, both of which were transporting weapons, military equipment and ammunition.
