As a result of precision strikes by Ukrainian drones, the following were damaged:
- Two Nebo-SVU long-range radar detection systems (price of one unit – about $60-100 million);
- A 92N6 radar, which is a component of the S-400 Triumph surface-to-air missile system (estimated domestic market price $30 million, export price – $60 million);
- A Pantsir-S2 surface-to-air missile system (estimated domestic market price $12 million, export price – $19 million);
- A MiG-31 aircraft with a full ammunition load (estimated price – $30-50 million depending on configuration and armament).



"The SBU continues its effective work destroying air defense systems in Crimea that protect important military and logistical facilities of the Russian forces. The elimination of components of this layered system significantly weakens the enemy's defense and military capabilities in the Crimean direction," the Security Service emphasized.
