Special Operations Forces Destroy Skala-M Radar in Crimea

The units of the Rukh Oporu Resistance Movement of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the stationary tracer radar complex TRLK-10 Skala-M in temporarily occupied Crimea.

This was reported by the Command of the Special Operations Forces on Facebook.

It is stated that the relevant operation had been carried out on the night of August 9-10, 2025 in the village of Abrikosivka.

Special Operations Forces do not disclose what weapons or means were used to destroy the radar on the Russian-controlled peninsula.

The press service explained that TRLK-10 Skala-M was a Soviet-Russian stationary track radar complex that included both primary and secondary air target detection capabilities.

It is designed to monitor air traffic in the sky, particularly on routes and in approach zones, making it an important component of the air traffic control system. The radar has a range of up to 350 km.

“The destruction of this radar will significantly weaken the enemy’s use of aircraft, which the occupiers use to destroy civilian infrastructure and civilians,” the Special Operations Forces noted.

In early August, Ukrainian Defense Forces’ attack drones also hit a radar complex for tracking space objects near the city of Feodosia.
