USF strike key Kuban–Crimea energy bridge facility, three radar stations, and training ground overnight

According to Ukrinform, Robert “Magyar” Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, announced this on Facebook.

“Crimea’s power switch is off: On July 8, a key point where electricity enters Crimea from Russia, five power substations, a training ground, and three radar stations were struck,” Brovdi noted.

As the USF commander explained, this refers to “the strike on July 8 against a key facility receiving electricity via the Kuban-Crimea power bridge, which serves as the entry point from the Russian mainland to the occupied peninsula. The power bridge is 14.5 km long and consists of four underwater cable lines. The damaged PP-2 “Crimea” transfer station receives these underwater cables and connects them to overhead power lines.”

According to Brovdi, between July 1 and 8, the USF struck 50 power facilities in Crimea and the southern part of the Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

• the Novotroitske power substation (Crimea), struck by the “Phoenix” Main Department of Unmanned Aerial Systems;
• the Kalynove and Troitske power substations in Luhansk region, struck by fighters of the 20th “K-2” Brigade.

Among the air defense assets struck were:

In addition, the following targets were struck: the repair base of the 27th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 1st Tank Army in Pysarivka, Luhansk Oblast, struck by fighters of the 20th Separate Brigade “K-2”; the “Hvardiiskyi” training ground in Oleksandrivka, Kherson region, was struck by 413 fighters from the “Raid” Separate USF Regiment.

As reported by the commander of the Special Forces, “Overnight, within the occupier’s operational depth in Crimea and the southern part of the temporarily occupied territories, Special Forces drones struck 53 military targets.

All targets were struck under the coordination of the newly established Center for Deep Strike of the Unmanned Systems Forces.”
