Ukrainian troops have managed to destroy a Russian Buk-M3 air defense system, which was positioned on Ukrainian territory near the front line.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense published footage showing Ukrainian military drones tracking the Russian system before it was destroyed in an airstrike that triggered a massive explosion.
“Epic destruction of the Russian Buk-M3 air defense system, followed by fireworks from the explosion,” the Ministry wrote in a statement shared on Facebook.
The operation was carried out by Ukraine’s “Black Forest” brigade. According to authorities, the destroyed system is estimated to have cost around $45 million.
