Quote: "On 10-11 December, temporarily occupied Crimea was rocked once again: occupiers were preparing for take-off on an An-26 multi-purpose military transport aircraft and had already started the engines. However, the Russian occupiers' crew were strictly forbidden from carrying out the illegal flight by the maestros of the Prymary (Phantoms) special unit, who delivered a precise strike to the left turboprop engine."

Details: DIU noted that during another air raid on temporarily occupied Crimea, the Prymary unit also successfully struck two very expensive radar systems – a 55Zh6M Nebo-M radar and a 64N6E radar concealed under a protective dome, which served as the "eyes" of the Russian S-300 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.

Background: Reports about an An-26 aircraft being hit at the Kacha airfield had appeared on social media earlier.
