Ukrainian special forces reported the destruction of radar in Abrykosivka, a fixed TRLK-10 Skala-M complex in Russian-occupied Crimea. The overnight strike on 9–10 August 2025 was carried out by resistance units of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces, according to an official statement on the command’s Facebook page.

The radar’s elimination follows a series of precision attacks on Russian military infrastructure in Crimea, including air defense and surveillance systems. Earlier in August, Ukrainian strike drones hit a radar complex near Feodosiia used for tracking space objects. Taken together, these operations show a pattern of systematically dismantling the enemy’s layered air defense and detection systems across the peninsula.

Officials said the loss of this installation will significantly limit the Russianability to use aviation against Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure. Crimea has two Abrykosivkas, one in Yevpatoriia district closer to the western coast, another in Feodosiia’s in the east. The report does not specify which of the two had the radar site. 

Euromaidan Press could not independently verify the operation or its outcome.

Special operations take out Soviet-era radar in occupied Crimea

Militarnyi reports that the TRLK-10 Skala-M was a Soviet-Russian stationary route radar complex with both primary and secondary air target detection capabilities. It was designed for controlling air traffic, including on routes and in approach zones, and served as a crucial element in the occupied peninsula’s airspace management system. With a range of up to 350 km, the radar could track aircraft over vast stretches of the Black Sea and southern Ukraine.

The Special Operations Forces command reported the strike but did not disclose which weapons or systems were used to destroy the radar. The mission was executed in the settlement of Abrykosivka, deep inside Russian-occupied territory. The destruction of this installation, according to the command’s statement, will weaken the adversary’s ability to coordinate and execute air missions that have repeatedly been used to strike civilian targets.
