SSU's most notable

In 2025, the SSU officers showed incredible efficiency. The enemy received strong and accurate strikes where they did not expect it.

▪️ During Operation Web, the SSU hit 41 strategic aircraft in just a few hours. Russia's losses amounted to more than $7 billion

▪️ In the Novorossiysk Bay, Sub Sea Baby underwater drones hit a Kalibr carrier, a Varshavyanka-class submarine, further reducing Russia's missile potential in the Black Sea

▪️ The third strike on the Crimean bridge continued the series of landmark strikes by the SBU and seriously damaged its supporting structures

▪️ Long-range strikes on oil refineries deep in Russia's rear reduced oil exports by more than 30% and limited the capabilities of the enemy shadow fleet

▪️ The aggressor's equipment was destroyed for billions of dollars more, both at the front and in the deep rear

And this is only part of the systematic work that reduces the military potential of the aggressor every day. In 2026, the occupiers will face even more accurate and destructive "cotton"!
