Two Mi-8 Helicopters and an Enemy Vessel Destroyed — Ukraine's Defence Intelligence Continues Strikes on Military Targets in Crimea
September 1, 2025

The DIU special operations unit "Prymary" carried out another successful mission on the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea. Using precision drones, Ukrainian operatives struck a russian airbase near Hvardiiske, close to Simferopol, destroying two Mi-8 helicopters.

The estimated value of the destroyed aircraft ranges from $20 million to $30 million.

In a separate operation, Ukrainian intelligence also targeted a russian naval tugboat, believed to be BUK-2190, in Sevastopol Bay. During an air assault on russian positions on the peninsula, a guided warhead was successfully directed at the vessel.

The targeted tugboat was part of the so-called PDSS — russian Underwater Sabotage Forces and Means — an elite unit of highly trained combat divers. Preparing these specialists requires significant financial resources, years of training, and top-tier equipment.

Destroying this vessel severely reduces the operational capabilities of one of russia's most elite military units.

The demilitarization of temporarily occupied Crimea continues!

Glory to Ukraine!
