This night, long-range drones of the SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center successfully practiced against Russian air defense components at the Belbek military airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea.
Points of attention
- Alpha Special Operations Center drones carried out a successful attack on Russian air defense components at Belbek airfield in Crimea, resulting in significant losses for the Russian army.
- The strategic importance of eliminating air defense systems at Belbek airfield weakens the enemy's defensive capabilities in the Crimean direction.
- Several high-value Russian equipment such as Nebo-SVU radar systems, S-400 Triumph components, Pantsir-S2 missile system, and MiG-31 aircraft were successfully targeted and destroyed.
SSU seizes hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Russian equipment at Belbek airfield
As a result of targeted hits on Ukrainian drones, the following were hit:
two Nebo-SVU long-range radar detection systems (the price of one is almost $60-100 million);
Radar 92N6, which is a component of the S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system (estimated price for the domestic market is $30 million, export price is $60 million);
Pantsir-S2 anti-aircraft missile system (estimated price for the domestic market is $12 million, export price is $19 million);
MiG-31 aircraft with full ammunition (estimated price — $30–50 million, depending on the configuration and armament).
The SSU continues effective work to destroy air defense systems in Crimea, which cover important military and logistical facilities of the occupiers.
The elimination of the components of this echeloned system significantly weakens the enemy's defense and military capabilities in the Crimean direction.
