Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) destroyed three Russian Mi-8 helicopters and a radar station in Crimea, the agency reported on Sept. 21, APA reports, citing Kyiv Independent.
"The Russian invaders' air fleet in the Crimea has been reduced again as a result of successful combat operations," HUR wrote on Telegram.
The Mi-8 is a medium-lift helicopter widely used by Russia for transport, reconnaissance, and combat support. It can carry troops and equipment or be outfitted as a gunship.
The radar destroyed was identified as the 55Zh6U Nebo-U, a mobile early-warning system capable of detecting stealth aircraft and cruise missiles at long ranges.
Such radars provide critical targeting data for surface-to-air missile systems.
The agency did not disclose the exact location of the strike.
