In Crimea, An-26 aircraft and air defense radars were struck: results of the 'Ghosts' operation

Operation of the special unit 'Ghosts'

According to ХВИЛЯ: The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported on the successful operation of the special unit 'Ghosts', which took place on the territory of Crimea on December 10-11, 2025. As a result of this operation, a military transport aircraft An-26 and two radar systems of the Russian troops were hit.

It is known that the multipurpose aircraft An-26 was unable to fly after the left turboprop engine was hit. In addition, during the operation, two radar systems were destroyed:

• Radar 55Zh6M 'Sky-M'
• Radar 64N6E

The latter served as 'eyes' for the enemy S-300 and S-400 systems, highlighting the importance of the successful implementation of the 'Ghosts' operation.

Impact on operational capabilities

The successful 'Ghosts' operation indicates the activation of actions by the Ukrainian military in response to the growing threat from the Russian troops in Crimea. The destruction of important military facilities such as the aircraft and radar systems could significantly affect the operational capabilities of the enemy in the region.

This underscores the necessity to continue reconnaissance and counteroffensive actions to ensure the security of the state.
