The Unmanned Systems Forces eliminated three Buk anti-aircraft missile systems in the Kursk Oblast of russia. According to the military, an enemy air defense was destroyed within 12 hours.
The Unmanned Systems Forces reported this on Telegram.
"In the Kursk Oblast, operators of the 413th separate battalion of unmanned systems "Reid" of the Unmanned Systems Forces in cooperation with the combined detachment of the Unmanned Systems Forces "Dzhmil" of the 78th Airborne Assault Regiment within 12 hours detected and hit three enemy "Buk" air defense systems," the caption to the published video says.
According to the military, the FPV drones hit the "Buk-M2" launcher-charger installation, camouflaged in a forest strip. As a result of the strike, the missiles detonated, the installation was destroyed.
In addition, drones hit two launchers of the Buk-M3 air defense system. Their radars were damaged.
As the fighters explain, the radar is a key element of the complex, as it is responsible for detecting targets and guiding missiles. Its destruction significantly reduces the effectiveness of the complex.
What is known about the Buk air defense system
The Buk-M3 is one of the latest modifications of the Soviet anti-aircraft missile system. Designed to destroy air targets at medium and long distances, it can destroy aircraft, missiles and drones at distances of up to 70 km and altitudes of up to 25 km.
The system is equipped with a multifunctional radar that provides accurate guidance even in conditions of active electronic suppression. It is capable of simultaneously tracking and hitting several targets.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, DeepState informed on the aggravation of the situation on the Lyman axis.
