Ukraine Video Shows Drone Wipe Out Russian Triumf Launcher in Crimea
Ukraine said its forces destroyed a Russian S-400 launcher and radar, part of an intensified campaign to disrupt Crimea’s air defenses and logistics.
- On July 26, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence reported that operators destroyed a Russian S-400 Triumf launcher and 96L6 radar in occupied Crimea. The strike disabled one of Moscow's high-value air-defense complexes.
- Ukrainian forces have intensified attacks in recent months to isolate Crimea from Russian supply lines. By targeting radars and launchers, military units clear the sky for subsequent drone and missile operations.
- The 96L6 radar is the system's primary target-detection component, capable of tracking up to 100 objects at once out to 300 km. Triumf systems remain Russia's most sophisticated air defenses, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Patriot.
- Russia reported intercepting 133 Ukrainian drones overnight into Sunday, though specifics on Crimea strikes remained unclear. Occupation authorities in Alushta declared a state of emergency after 48 hours of power outages.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky stated Sunday that Kyiv can strike targets more than 3,000 kilometers away, forcing Russia to relocate the "vast majority" of its air defenses to protect the capital, St Petersburg, and the Crimean Bridge.
