SSU jointly with Defence Forces strike military enterprise and oil facilities in Moscow region and Belbek military airfield in Crimea

Carrying out the tasks set by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the SSU Alfa Special Operations Centre and Ukraine’s Defence Forces have struck a military-industrial complex facility and oil enterprises in the Moscow region, as well as the infrastructure and air defence systems of the Belbek military airfield in Crimea.

In the Moscow region, the following targets were struck:

  • the Angstrom plant, which supplies semiconductors to the russian military-industrial complex and is subject to U.S. sanctions;
  • the Moscow Oil Refinery;
  • the Sonechnogorsk oil pumping station;
  • the Volodarskoe oil pumping station.

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the infrastructure and air defence assets of the Belbek military airfield were struck, specifically:

  • the Pantsir-S2 air defence system;
  • a hangar housing radar for the S-400 system;
  • the Orion UAV control system and the Forpost UAV ground control station;
  • a ground-to-air data transmission point;
  • the control tower and a hangar at the Belbek airfield.

‘Such special operations by the SSU are critical for weakening russia’s military potential. Striking military industry enterprises, military infrastructure, and oil logistics reduces the enemy’s ability to continue the war against Ukraine. These strikes demonstrate that even the most heavily defended Moscow region is not safe. The Security Service and Ukraine’s Defence Forces will continue to carry out high-precision special operations to destroy the aggressor’s military resources,’ said the SSU Acting Head Yevheniy Khmara.
