Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense released exclusive footage showcasing the combat operations of domestically produced UJ-26 “Bober ” drones against Russian military targets in occupied Crimea on July 1.

The video captures direct hits on several high-value Russian military assets, including a Pantsir-S1 air defense system with its crew, a Niobium-SV radar, a Pechora-3 coastal radar, a Protivnik-GE radar system, and a Su-30 fighter jet stationed at the Saky airbase.

The footage provides a rare close-up view of successful long-range suicide drone strikes deep inside Russian-occupied territory, targeting some of Moscow’s most expensive and strategically critical defense systems.

“Reliable weapons in the hands of HUR special forces are turning the aggressor state’s high-value military targets into useless scrap,” the agency stated.

The UJ-26 “Bober” is a long-range, propeller-driven attack drone developed in Ukraine. It has been used increasingly in high-precision strikes against Russian military infrastructure, airfields, and radar installations far behind the front lines.

The video from HUR highlights its ability to bypass air defenses and deliver pinpoint strikes on multi-million-dollar targets, such as radar stations and aircraft.

Earlier, HUR reported that its special drone unit, known as “The Ghosts,” conducted a successful strike on Russian air defense infrastructure in temporarily occupied Crimea.

The operation reportedly targeted key elements of the S-400 “Triumf” surface-to-air missile system.
