The SBS has disabled more than 260 energy facilities belonging to the Russian occupiers.
Ukrainian drones have disabled hundreds of power facilities and restricted the movements of the Russian “shadow fleet” in the Black and Azov Seas.
This was reported by Charter97.org, citing the Telegram channel of Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
As part of Operation “Crimean Circuit Breaker Off,” SSS units effectively targeted 27 power facilities in occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine between August 17 and 22 alone.
In total, since the start of this operation (from July 1 to August 22), 267 energy infrastructure facilities have been taken out of service.
Among the targets struck were high-voltage substations, gas turbine power plants, and gas distribution stations. Specifically, the following were struck:
the 500-kV “Taman” substation in the Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation;
gas turbine power plants in the settlements of Kar’ernoye and Naumovka in Crimea;
the 500 kV “Pobeda” and 330 kV “Khartsyzskaya” substations in the Donetsk Oblast;
