Soldiers from Ukraines Unmanned Systems Forces have detected and struck three Russian Buk air defence systems in Russias Kursk Oblast within a 12hour period.
Source Command of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook Quote In Kursk Oblast, soldiers of the 413th Unmanned Battalion Raid of the Unmanned Systems Forces, in cooperation with a consolidated unit from the 78th Separate Air Assault Battalion Dzhmil Bumblebee, detected and struck three Buk air defence systems belonging to the enemy within a 12hour period.
Details The report states that the soldiers carried out precise FPV drone strikes on a BukM2 launcherloader vehicle camouflaged in a forested area, which caused the detonation of its missiles and complete destruction.
They also targeted two BukM3 launchers, damaging their radar systems.
The Unmanned Systems Forces noted that radar is a key component of the air defence system, used to track aerial targets and guide missiles.
Its destruction severely undermines the systems combat capabilities.
For reference The BukM3 9K37M3/SA17 Grizzly is a modern mobile air defence system and one of the key elements of Russias air defences.
It is capable of engaging air targets at altitudes of up to 35 km and tracking them at distances of up to 70 km.
The full system is valued at approximately US45 million. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon
