Ukrainian Magura Naval Drones Strike Russian Radar in Crimea

Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) successfully used its newly developed Magura naval platforms to strike two Russian radar systems in occupied Crimea on August 3. The specialized Group 13 unit deployed naval drones equipped with FPV (first-person-view) aerial drones to hit a Podlet radar command vehicle and a Parol-4 interrogator system. This marks the first confirmed operational use of naval platforms to launch aerial strike drones against ground targets, significantly degrading Russian air defenses and surveillance.
