The Ukrainian military destroyed a launcher of the Russian Buk anti-aircraft missile system.

The video of the defeat of the Russian air defense system was published by the Division-TIVAZ Telegram channel.

The Russian launcher was located in a position in a forest belt and was detected by Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance.

The servicemen do not disclose exactly where, when, and with what weapon a launcher of the Russian Buk system was destroyed.

It is likely that the launcher was hit by a precision-guided munition, possibly from a US HIMARS rocket system.

The footage shows that after hitting, the anti-aircraft missiles detonated and burned violently, emitting thick smoke that was visible at a great distance.

The explosion scattered missile fragments tens of meters away from the Russian Buk missile launcher.

It is not known what happened to the crew of the vehicle; if they had been inside at the time of the attack, they could have died from such powerful explosions and fire.

The destruction of the Russian Buk was monitored by a Ukrainian drone, which probably helped the Ukrainian troops identify the location of the Russian missile launcher and adjust their precise strike.

In recent months, Ukrainian Defense Forces have increased the number of strikes against Russian air defense systems in various directions. This is evidenced by videos published by the military.

For this purpose, the Ukrainians use a variety of means, from tactical ballistic missiles with cluster warheads to attack drones of various types and high-precision rockets.

Previously, aerial reconnaissance personnel of the 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade, using a Shark drone, struck at the launcher of the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system of the Russian invaders.
