The special unit of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine "Prymary" has again hunted down Russian military equipment - two Mi-8s and a ship - in the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea. This is stated in a report by Ukrainian intelligence.
"...good drones were used to strike the Russian invaders' airbase in Gvardiyske, near Simferopol – two enemy Mi-8 helicopters were successfully hit," the report said.
According to GUR, the estimated cost of the decommissioned helicopters is $ 20-30 million.
"A dismal ending also befell a Muscovite military tugboat, probably a BUK-2190, in the bay of Sevastopol – during an air attack against the invaders on the peninsula, Ukrainian intelligence officers directed a corresponding warhead at the vessel," the intelligence service added.
It was noted here that the raid tug is part of the so-called "PDSS" (underwater sabotage forces and means). This is a unit of highly qualified reconnaissance divers, for whose training significant financial and time resources are spent, as well as provided with the best equipment.
"The damage to the tugboat significantly limits the combat capabilities of the elite Russian unit," the GUR summarized.
The day before, it became known that the "Ghost" unit carried out another attack on Russian air defense facilities in Crimea, during which five technical targets were hit: the "Utyos-T" radar; the RT-70 radio telescope; the "GLONASS" complex in the dome; the MR-10M1 "Mys" M1 radar; the 96L6-AP radar from the S-400 air defense system.
In addition, on August 28, 2025, soldiers of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine hit a Buyan-M missile ship in the Sea of Azov.
