Ukraine Just Took Out Su-24, Blinded Three Russian Radars and Destroyed Military Train in Crimea

Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) says its special operations drone unit known as “Prymary” has destroyed eight Russian targets in Crimea over the past two weeks, striking aircraft, radar installations, and logistics assets in a series of coordinated precision attacks, according to the agency report on December 5.

In a statement, HUR said its operators “continue systematic demilitarization on the temporarily occupied peninsula,” citing strikes on a Su-24 frontline bomber, an antenna inside a radio-transparent dome, a 39N6 Kasta-2E2 radar, an Orion unmanned aerial vehicle, two 48Ya6-K1 Podlet radar stations, a military cargo train, and a Ural logistics truck used by Russian forces.

The targets, according to HUR, represent part of the infrastructure supporting Russian operations across Crimea and southern Ukraine.

The destruction of the Su-24—an aircraft regularly used for missile and glide-bomb attacks—underscores the strategic impact of the strikes, while the removal of multiple radar systems may reduce Russian air-defense visibility along portions of the peninsula.

The reported hit on an Orion combat drone points to the growing emphasis on counter-UAV warfare.

HUR said the operations were conducted over a 14-day period as part of efforts to “methodically demilitarize” occupied territory, though it did not specify the timing or exact locations of the strikes.

Earlier, Ukrainian military intelligence forces carried out a precision operation targeting Russian military infrastructure in temporarily occupied Crimea, destroying a MiG-29 fighter jet at the Kacha airbase and damaging a radar installation near Simferopol.
