Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) reported destroying a TRLK-10 “Skala-M” radar complex in the village of Abrykosivka in Russian-occupied Crimea.
In a Telegram post, the SSO said the strike was carried out by SSO Resistance Movement units overnight on Saturday.

The SSO did not disclose the weapons used during the operation. Russian authorities did not confirm the loss, reporting instead that 15 drones were intercepted over Crimea overnight.
According to SSO, the Soviet-designed TRLK-10 radar system combines primary and secondary air target detection with a range of 350 kilometers (217 miles).
The system reportedly supports air traffic control along flight routes and approach zones and is integrated into Russia’s air defense network over Crimea and the Black Sea.
The SSO said its destruction will reduce Russia’s ability to coordinate air missions used in strikes on civilian areas.
Earlier this month, Ukraine’s forces also destroyed Russian radar installations near the Crimean coast, including systems concealed beneath protective domes. The operation took place just days after the Security Service of Ukraine targeted a Su-30SM fighter jet and three Su-24 bombers at Russia’s Saky military airfield in occupied Crimea.
