"ATESH" partisans claim sabotage against air defense systems in the Moscow region
Kyiv • UNN
ATESH agents damaged communication towers equipped with electronic warfare (EW) modules in the Moscow region. This slowed down air defense operations and left part of the routes to the Russian capital without cover.
The Ukrainian partisan movement "ATESH" has claimed responsibility for sabotage operations in the Moscow region of the Russian Federation, which allegedly disrupted the operation of Russian air defense elements near Moscow. This was reported by representatives of the movement, according to UNN.

According to "ATESH," the movement's agents damaged several communication towers in the Putilkovo, Kommunarka, and Domodedovo districts.
The partisan movement claims that these facilities housed electronic warfare modules used to detect low-flying targets and coordinate the operation of air defense systems.
"ATESH" claims weakening of Russian air defense
According to the partisans, following the sabotage, the Russian air defense system lost several observation points on the immediate approaches to Moscow.
The movement stated that this could have affected the air defense response time and left certain routes without cover.
"Without these devices, data on low-flying targets ceases to arrive on time – response speed drops, and some routes remain without cover,"
In recent months, "ATESH" has regularly reported on sabotage, reconnaissance, and other actions in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and in regions of Russia.
