Details: In Yeisk, the USF attacked and destroyed a Pantsir-S1 gun-missile air defence system, as well as a Sopka-2 (12L6) radar station. The USF also struck another radar station in Russia's Krasnodar Krai – a Kasta 2E2 near Shabelske.
Brovdi reported that Ukrainian drone operators attacked two radar stations at the Millerovo airfield in Rostov Oblast – an RSP-27 (DRL-27) and a Nebo-SV.
"The central target of this night was the DRL-27 module of the RSP-27 aircraft landing radar system at the Millerovo airfield. The destroyed DRL-27 is an airfield surveillance radar which, in addition to its aerial target detection function, is used as an integral element of air traffic control (operating as part of a system with the PRL-27 landing radar)," Brovdi explained.
The USF commander said that in addition to air defence elements, the forces struck an aviation weapons depot at Yeisk airfield and ammunition and technical-maintenance equipment depots at Millerovo airfield.
