In temporarily occupied Crimea near Yevpatoria, a rare Russian-made Kasta-2E2 radar station was destroyed in early August.

This was reported by Telegram "Crimean Wind".

"An attack on a former air defense position near the village of Khutor near Yevpatoria (Saksky district) took place between August 6 and 11. As a result of the attack, the expensive Kasta-2E2 radar was probably hit by drones. This is indicated by a number of factors," Crimean Wind's sources noted.

It is reported that this station stood at this position until the strike, after which a fire was recorded, and a net-covered object of identical size and appearance as the said radar station. Also, according to the sources, the station stopped fixing after the attack.
