UNITED24 Media • • world
Key Points:
- Ukrainian forces have dismantled Russian air defense systems near Gelendzhik, compromising the airspace around Vladimir Putin’s Black Sea palace, according to The Moscow Times.
- A Ukrainian strike on August 7 destroyed the “Volna Kupol Garant” electronic warfare system, which was designed to jam Starlink satellite communications and protect a 20-square-kilometer area.
- Following the EW system’s destruction, Ukrainian drones targeted and successfully struck a nearby S-400 surface-to-air missile system, which had fired six missiles before being hit on August 9.
- The damage to these defenses leaves Putin’s 17,700-square-meter Black Sea estate, known for its luxury features and strict no-fly zone, exposed and unprotected.
- The Volna Kupol Garant system, manufactured in occupied Simferopol at $1.5 million per unit, is large and emits powerful signals, making it easily detectable and vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks.
