National Guardsmen hit russian S-300 air defense system. Moment of ammunition detonation caught on video
Servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine hit a launcher from the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system of the army of the aggressor country of russia.
Video of the machine's destruction and its subsequent detonation was published by journalist Yurii Butusov.
The "big catch" in the "hunt" for the occupiers' equipment went to the fighters of the separate special forces unit "Lazar" of the 27th separate brigade of the National Guard. They discovered a 9A84ME launcher moving along the road.
The video shows that at some point the machine stopped near a forest plantation. The crew probably realized that the machine had been detected and hurried to abandon it before the strike.
In the next fragment of the video, you can see how a Ukrainian military drone drops ammunition on an occupier vehicle. As a result of the explosion, anti-aircraft missiles detonated. The moment itself was captured on the camera of a reconnaissance drone.
It is not specified where and when the russian launcher was hit.
Yesterday, September 3, the head of the Center for the Study of Occupation Petro Andriushchenko wrote that in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia Region, the Ukrainian military hit the S-300 air defense system and the 9S36 radar from the Buk-M2 anti-aircraft missile system.
According to Andriushchenko, both targets were hit north of the settlement of Oleksiyivka in the east of the region.
Later, Andriushchenko published photos of the destroyed occupiers' equipment.
9A84 is a launcher-loader designed for storing, transporting and loading anti-aircraft missiles. It can also launch missiles when connected to the 9A82 launcher.
9S36 is a radar illumination and guidance station for launchers of the Buk-M2 anti-aircraft missile system.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on the night of August 28, a radar station from the modern russian S-400 air defense system was hit in occupied Crimea.
Also on August 28, in the waters of the Sea of Azov, the Ukrainian military hit a small missile ship of the russian fleet, which was periodically used for missile strikes on Ukraine.
