The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine has dealt a devastating blow to russian military infrastructure in temporarily occupied Crimea recently. Over several days, Ukrainian forces conducted precision strikes that crippled russian air defense capabilities, showcasing the growing effectiveness of intelligence-led warfare.
Among high-value targets destroyed were advanced radar stations, including multiple units of the Podlet, Niobium-SV, and Kasta 2E2 systems, as well as powerful S-300VM and Nebo-M units. Ukrainian strikes also neutralized the Pantsir-S1 air defense systems, command posts, and even maritime assets, with the destruction of the Project S4236 and Fyodor Uryupin tugboats.
