DIU Drones Destroyed a Russian MiG-29 in Crimea

A Ukrainian strike drone bombed a Russian MiG-29 fighter jet at the Kacha airfield in occupied Crimea.

The Prymary special forces unit of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine executed the strike.

On the same night, Prymary also hit the Irtysh airfield radar system near temporarily occupied Simferopol.

“The DIU special forces continue to systematically weaken the air defense system of the Muscovites over the temporarily occupied peninsula, destroying radars, anti-aircraft systems, and now fighter aircraft,” the DIU added.

This is not the first time the Ukrainian Defense Forces have destroyed MiG-29 fighter jets in Crimea.

In May 2024, the Ukrainian military struck the Belbek airfield with an ATACMS missile, which was home to MiG-31, Su-27, and MiG-29 aircraft.

In 2025, long-range strike drones were actively used to attack Russian targets in Crimea.
