The Ukrainian military destroyed a Russian Osa-AKM SAM in the Kherson region.

The published video shows that this air defense system cannot be restored.

The footage taken by the Russian invaders themselves shows that the launcher was completely burned out as a result of the explosion of the anti-aircraft missiles with which it was equipped.

Drone operators of the Kryla unit of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) detected and destroyed a Russian Osa-AKM SAM near the village of Radensk in the Kherson region.

Ukrainian troops used FPV strike drones to disable the Russian air defense system on the temporarily occupied territory.

Previously, the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed a Russian Tor surface-to-air missile system using the Switchblade 600 loitering munition.

The 14th Separate UAV Regiment defeated the Tor together with the Security Service of Ukraine.

After detecting the Russian system, the reconnaissance drone operator continued tracking it and simultaneously transmitted the coordinates to the Switchblade 600 crew.

After launching the loitering munition, the Russian air defense system started to leave its combat position, but a precision-guided munition struck its rear at that moment.
