Ukrainian Magura Naval Drones Strike Russian Radar Systems in Crimea
Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) successfully deployed newly developed Magura naval platforms equipped with FPV drones to strike two Russian radar installations in occupied Crimea. The operation, conducted by the Group 13 special unit, targeted a Podlet radar command vehicle and a Parol-4 identification interrogator. This marks the first confirmed use of sea-based FPV launch platforms against ground targets, representing a significant technical escalation in Ukraine's maritime campaign to degrade Russian surveillance capabilities.
