The system was affected near the settlement of Kotovskoe in the west of the peninsula, say the HUR.
“The Podlyot 48Я6-K1 mobile radar is used by the enemy to detect air targets at low and extremely low altitudes in a difficult obstacle environment. The estimated cost of the destroyed enemy radar complex, intended, in particular, for issuing target designations for the S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, is $5 million,” the intelligence said.
Radio Liberty cannot yet verify these data from independent sources.
The Russian military did not report the destruction of such a complex. In the morning of November 28, the Ministry of Defense of Russia announced the night attack of three drones on the occupied Crimea. At the same time, they did not say about any damage and stated that the drones were allegedly shot down.
The destruction of the same radar in Crimea was already reported in October. According to reports, on October 23, an attack was made on the 48Y6-K1 “Pidlit” radar in the area of Cape Tarkhankut, the attack was carried out by an attack drone.
Starting from August 2022, the sounds of explosions are regularly heard in the occupied Crimea. In an interview with Radio Liberty in August of last year, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, stated the ability of Ukrainian forces to reach any point in the occupied Crimea to defeat the enemy. According to him, there are many different options for the de-occupation of Crimea, but “it is impossible without military, military operations.”
