Ukraine’s military successfully destroys S-300 and S-400 radar systems in Crimea – General Staff

On the night and early morning of June 12, Ukraine's armed forces repeatedly attacked Russian anti-aircraft missile systems deployed by the invaders on the temporarily occupied Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.

The General Staff of Ukraine's armed forces reported this.

As reported by the military command, this time, a group missile attack was carried out on:

• one enemy anti-aircraft missile division S-300 near Belbek,
• two S-400 anti-aircraft missile divisions near Belbek and Sevastopol.

The General Staff says that hits in the areas of the targets have been confirmed.

Based on the damage results, two radars from the S-300 and S-400 complexes were destroyed. Further details about the third radar are being confirmed.

In addition, further detonation of munitions was recorded in all three areas where anti-aircraft missile divisions of the Russian Federation are located.

"There will be more…" the Ukrainian military promised.

Also, satellite images of the affected positions of the Russian S-300 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems in Crimea appeared on the Internet.

The OSINT researchers "Kiber_Boroshno" published the corresponding photos on Telegram.

First of all, the 5Н63С self-propelled command post, which controls the operation of the target illumination radar station for 30Н6 anti-aircraft missiles, was hit.

In addition, a satellite image of the position of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile complex near the village of Rubynivka, Dzhankoy district, was published.

One can see the moment when the equipment rolls down, and the Russian S–400 service changes positions. The universal search radar station 48YA6-K1 "Podlyot" was damaged during the attack.

According to the author, the condition of the nearby 51P6 self-propelled launcher is unknown. The photo was taken at a time when another self-propelled installation was already leaving its position.
