Ukraine Destroys Russian Helicopters, Tugboat in Crimea, Shares Footage
On September 1st, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) announced the destruction of two Russian Mi-8 helicopters and a tugboat in occupied Crimea. Drones targeted the Hvardiiske military air base, destroying helicopters valued at $20–30 million. In Sevastopol Bay, Ukrainian intelligence struck a military tugboat, identified as a BUK-2190, used by a Russian special naval forces unit. The attacks, part of ongoing efforts to degrade Russian military infrastructure in Crimea, significantly limit the combat capabilities of the elite Russian unit.
