On September 23, the Unmanned Systems Forces announced that they had struck 38 energy facilities in Crimea, Russia, and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine between September 6 and 22. This was reported on September 23 by UAS Commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi.

 

According to him, these are the results of Operation “Crimean Circuit Breaker Off,” which has been ongoing since July 6. In total, over the 2.5 months of the operation, Brovdi claims, 412 energy facilities were struck.

Among the targets mentioned by the SBS commander are power substations and gas distribution stations in Crimea, in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as in Russia.

Specifically, the list includes the “Amvrosiivka,” “Artemivska,” “Kotlyarevska,” and “Bilovodska,” as well as facilities in Mariupol, Svatove, Tokmak, and other settlements. In Crimea, it was reported that a number of gas distribution stations were hit, including “Bakhchisaray-2,” “Belogorsk,” “Kir-Baylar,” and “Islam-Terek.”

The report also mentions four facilities on Russian territory, including power substations and a gas distribution station in the Oryol Region.

Brovdi noted that units of the Unmanned Systems Forces were involved in the operation, including “Madyar’s Birds,” Nemesis, “K-2,” “Raid,” “Achilles,” and “Rarog,” as well as other UAS units and the “Phoenix” group of the State Border Guard Service.

On the night of September 23, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with 161 strike drones of various types. Among them were 82 jet-powered UAVs. As of 8:00 a.m., air defense forces had destroyed or neutralized 119 enemy drones and three additional “Banderole”/“Dan-T” drones. 

Since the evening of September 22, Russian troops have attacked two districts in the Dnipropetrovsk region more than 10 times. The occupiers used drones and dropped aerial bombs; one person was injured as a result of the attacks.

We should add that drones attacked the temporarily occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions overnight.

As a reminder, Russia struck Kharkiv on the night of September 23, resulting in one fatality.

On the morning of September 23, air raid alerts were issued in Kyiv and several regions due to the threat of UAVs.
