Two more Pantsirs gone: Ukraine hits Crimea airbase and aircraft repair plant in overnight raid
Ukrainian drones struck a Russian-controlled aircraft repair plant and several air defense systems in occupied Crimea overnight on 6 March, according to a source in Ukraine’s security services cited by LIGA.net.
The source told the outlet that drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) hit production facilities at the Yevpatoria Aviation Repair Plant.
The Yevpatoria Aviation Repair Plant repairs and maintains aircraft and aviation systems and has been under Russian control since Moscow occupied Crimea in 2014.
Additional strikes targeted locations where Russian military equipment and personnel were stationed near the village of Pushkine, close to the Dzhankoi Air Base.
According to LIGA.net, the attack damaged two Pantsir-S2 air defense system units.
Other reported targets included an Iranian Mohajer-6 drone on the airfield, a truck-mounted ZU-23 anti-aircraft gun, two fuel tankers, and a ground control station for a Forpost reconnaissance drone.
Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian military infrastructure in Crimea, which Russia uses as a major hub for aviation and logistics operations supporting its war against Ukraine.
