Using attack and reconnaissance drones, operators from the 14th Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed the command post of an enemy anti-aircraft division and neutralized several systems, including the advanced S-300V, Tor-M2, and Buk-M3, both while in operation and in transit.

The attacks involved the use of American-made Switchblade 600 kamikaze munitions, which operated in conjunction with Shark reconnaissance drones.
These attack drones have a range of up to 40 kilometers and can be launched quickly without the need for a catapult, enabling fast and precise strikes against targets located dozens of kilometers from the front line.
One of these operations also resulted in the destruction of a rare S-300V system in the Zaporizhzhia region by an unidentified attack drone.
The S-300V systems, modified in Russia into the Antey-2500 version, are designed to protect ground forces and intercept short-range ballistic missiles, and are incompatible with other models in the S-300 family.
The destruction of this equipment reinforces Ukraine’s ability to strike strategic Russian military assets, even in areas considered safe by enemy forces.
