All the Locations in Occupied Crimea Where Ukraine Has Successfully Destroyed Russian Air Defense Systems

Earlier this month, several outlets stated that Ukrainians are now able to strike targets on any location within Russian occupied Crimea with astonishing effect.

The total number of individually struck air defense systems is approximately 15. Specifically, divisions of air defense systems in the modifications of S-300, S-350, and S-400 have been affected; dozens of launcher units of these systems have been destroyed, along with over 15 radar stations and more than 10 command posts.

Here are all the locations within Russian-occupied Crimea where Ukrainian forces have successfully destroyed air defense systems from May to June 2024:

• Belbek

• Sevastopol

• Chornomorske

• Yevpatoriia

• Dzhankoi

• Tarkhankut

• Saky

• Donske

• Mysove

• Alushta
