Ukrainian intelligence releases video of strikes on Russian Valdai radar, boats in Crimea

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) has released video footage showing strikes on a Russian Valdai radar system, a GLONASS navigation system, and military boats in temporarily occupied Crimea.

According to the agency, the video was published on its official Facebook page, Ukrinform reports.

"During the first two weeks of March, specialists from the HUR's Prymary (Ghosts) special unit continued targeting the air defense systems of the Muscovites on the temporarily occupied peninsula," the statement said.

HUR noted that in one of the successful raids, Ukrainian military intelligence operatives struck a Valdai radar system – a modern Russian complex designed to detect and counter small unmanned aerial vehicles.

The Prymary unit also disabled a radio jamming station, a relay system used for Geran/Gerbera-type drones, and a component of the GLONASS navigation system.

"In addition, Prymary hunted down and hit two Project 02510 BK-16 landing boats while they were on the move, along with their crews," HUR said.

On March 16 and overnight into March 17, Ukrainian forces carried out strikes on key Russian military targets in Russia's Bryansk region, as well as in Crimea and parts of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
