Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) destroyed two Russian An-26 transport aircraft and two radar stations in a drone attack on occupied Crimea, the agency reported on Sept. 25.
Axar.az informs, citing Kyiv Independent, the strike is part of ongoing efforts to destroy high-value Russian assets on the peninsula, HUR said.
According to the agency, its special forces set fire to the aircraft and destroyed a Russian surface surveillance radar system along with the MR-10M1 Mys M1 coastal radar station.
The An-26, a Soviet-era twin-engine turboprop aircraft, has been widely used for short- and medium-haul transport, capable of carrying up to 40 troops or 5.5 tons of cargo.
The radar station is a coastal defense system that provides early warning and tracks surface sea targets.
