“An air defense zoo in one night: Pantsir, Tor, Buk and S-300V. SBS Birds are at work,” he said.
According to him, fighters of the 9th Battalion Kairos of the 414th Brigade, known as Madyar’s Birds, destroyed a Buk surface-to-air missile system in Kherson Oblast and an S-300V system in Zaporizhzhya Oblast.
Ukrainian FP-2 strike drones with a 60-kilogram warhead were used for the strikes, Brovdi said.
He added that at the same time pilots of the 1st Separate SBS Center hit Pantsir-S1 and Tor systems in Zaporizhzhya Oblast using FP-2 drones equipped with a 100-kilogram warhead.
“Detecting and destroying elements of the enemy’s long-, medium- and short-range air defense systems is one of the priorities of the SBS Birds,” the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces said.
On Feb. 27, it was reported that SBS fighters destroyed a Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system on the outskirts of Russian-occupied Mariupol at the Azovstal plant.
Overnight into Feb. 24, SBS units destroyed a Uragan multiple launch rocket system, a Buk-M1 air defense system, a Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system and a Malakhit radar station. The targets were hit at Russian positions in the temporarily occupied parts of Zaporizhzhya and Donetsk oblasts as well as in Russian-occupied Crimea.
