SBU Special Forces Strike Two Airfields and Air Defense Systems in Crimea
Ukraine's Security Service Alpha unit successfully hit the Saky and Gvardiyske airfields and air defense systems, including S-400 and Pantsir-S1, near the Kerch Strait.
Fighters from the Alpha special operations center of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have carried out successful strikes against air defense systems near the Kerch Strait, as well as against the infrastructure of the Saky and Gvardiyske military airfields in occupied Crimea, according to the SBU.
Preliminary reports indicate that at the Saky airfield, four hangars used for storing aircraft were destroyed. Additionally, near Kerch, two units of the S-400 surface-to-air missile system and two Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile/gun systems were hit.
The SBU noted that this is the fourth Pantsir-S1 destroyed by Alpha in this area. “Russian occupiers are losing control over the skies of Crimea. Each destroyed air defense system and each hit military airfield opens new opportunities for further Ukrainian strikes against enemy military infrastructure,” the SBU statement said.
