Operatives from the Group 13 special unit of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) destroyed a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system in temporarily occupied Crimea using Magura uncrewed surface vehicles, officials reported on August 7.
On August 7, Ukrainian intelligence agency Group 13 special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) destroyed a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system in Crimea using Magura uncrewed surface vehicles. The operational success was reported by military intelligence, which noted that the exact cost of the destroyed system is around $15 million.
Earlier this month, Group 13 had employed Magura naval platforms equipped with first-person-view (FPV) drones to target various Russian ground assets in Crimea, including a Podlyot radar control vehicle and a Parol-4 radar interrogator.
Further military action was reported on August 7, as explosions at the Hvardiiske military airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea resulted in a significant fire and secondary detonations of small-arms ammunition. These incidents led to the destruction of a Russian early warning radar station near Olenivka, a Shahed strike drone storage, production, and launch facility, and two ground-based command and control relays for Shahed drones.
