Ukrainian FPV drone hits Russian anti-aircraft missile system in Kursk Oblast
Ukrainian defence forces have successfully struck a Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile system in Russia's Kursk Oblast. Source: press service for Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces Details: The efficient work of the operators 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), was recorded on video. The Russians spotted a Ukrainian reconnaissance UAV in the sky and deployed the Strela-10 system, attempting to shoot it down. However, two missile launches were unsuccessful, as the drone pilots skilfully evaded the missiles. After the failed interception, the Russians attempted to retreat, but did not succeed. The FPV drone strike hit the target precisely, causing serious damage to the missile system. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
