Ukrainian Magura Naval Drones Strike Russian Radar Systems in 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.
