Ukrainian Forces Unleash Precision Strike Campaign Against Russian Assets in Crimea
The Ukrainian military has released a dramatic video showcasing its elite "Ghosts" unit carrying out successful precision strikes against key Russian assets in the contested Crimean region. The operation, which appears to have targeted air-defense systems and radar installations, was shared on the HUR Telegram account with a tongue-in-cheek reference to Justin Timberlake's song "Cry Me a River."
According to reports, the "Ghosts" unit destroyed a Ka-27 naval multi-purpose helicopter, an "Lira-A10" airfield radar system, a "Nebo-U" radar, and a P-18 Terek radar as part of its campaign. The video also captured the destruction of a dome-structured "Nebo-SV" radar, which bore an uncanny resemblance to the Death Star from the iconic "Star Wars" franchise.
The operation marked the latest in a series of precision strikes carried out by the Ukrainian forces against Russian assets in Donbas and Crimea. The group's success came as part of its broader strategy to weaken Russia's layered air-defense system.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities claimed that the "armed struggle continues," underscoring the ongoing nature of the conflict. However, neither The New York Post nor Kyiv Post were able to independently verify the video shared by the military branch.
As tensions between Ukraine and Russia continue to escalate, diplomatic efforts are underway to bring an end to the war. High-level meetings between Ukraine and the US are scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, starting on Sunday.
