On February 12, Ukraine successfully struck a $100 million Russian Nebo-U radar system located near Yevpatoriia in occupied Crimea, according to the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. This facility is part of Russia’s advanced air defense architecture, specifically designed to detect both aerial and ballistic threats at long ranges. By targeting such critical military assets, Ukraine seeks to diminish Russia's strategic surveillance and defense capabilities in the region.

The Nebo-U radar system plays a vital role in maintaining the operational efficiency of Russian air defense by providing early warnings against various threats. The strike on this radar system aligns with Ukraine’s broader military strategy to disrupt the command structure and logistics of Russian forces in the occupied territories. By systematically targeting facilities that contribute to enemy operations, Ukraine aims to diminish the Russian offensive potential in these regions.

This development showcases Ukraine's continuing commitment to countering Russian aggression and enhancing its own military effectiveness. As the conflict persists, such targeted strikes are likely to become integral to Ukraine's strategy in reclaiming control over occupied areas, further complicating Russia's ability to maintain its military operations in Crimea and beyond.
