Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces claimed a long-range drone strike on Russian air-defence assets in Krasnodar Krai on 2 August, hitting a Tor-M2 short-range system and seven radar stations across a cluster of sites in the south of Russia. The operation was described as taking place more than 270 km behind the front line, with reported damage at Yeysk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Kamyshevatskaya, Pryhybskyy and Shabelskoy.
The radar set allegedly targeted included Nebo-S, Nebo-U, Nebo-SV, Gamma-S1M, Kasta-2E2 and 37T systems. Ukrainian military messaging framed the attack as part of a broader effort to degrade Russia’s integrated air-defence network and open gaps for follow-on strikes.
The claim is operationally significant because such systems are used to detect and intercept aircraft, cruise missiles and drones. The available reporting reflects Ukraine’s account of the strike; no independent battlefield verification or Russian confirmation of damage was included in the material provided.
