Ukrainian defenders have destroyed a Russian Buk-M3 medium-range surface-to-air missile system, along with its ammunition, positioned by invding forces on a key eastern front line.
This was reported by the Khortytsia Operational Strategic Group of Troops on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
The Buk system was detected by artillery reconnaissance troops of the Chornyi Lis brigade and destroyed by neighboring units.
Khortytsia emphasized that the Buk-M3 is one of the key components of Russia’s air defense system, with an estimated value of around $45 million.
“Each such explosion and destruction of vital enemy military equipment reduces the invading army’s capabilities on the battlefield for a prolonged period,” the Ukrainian military stated.
As reported by Ukrinform, there were a total of 196 combat engagements along the front line over the past 24 hours.
