Iskander missile systems hit

Today, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in cooperation with the Security Service of Ukraine and other components of the Defense Forces, carried out a missile strike on a concentration area of Russian missile troops.

A unit of the 26th Missile Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, operating from the area of the town of Klintsy in Bryansk Oblast, Russia, attempted to launch a strike on one of the Ukrainian settlements — likely Kyiv.

Thanks to effective intelligence and coordinated efforts of the Armed Forces and the Security Service of Ukraine, the targets were successfully hit. One Russian missile launcher detonated, and two more were likely damaged.

The results of the strike are being clarified.

Effective and timely combat work by Ukrainian defenders helped prevent civilian casualties.

The fight continues.
Glory to Ukraine!

SSU released unique footage from Operation "Spider Web," which resulted in the destruction of 41 Russian strategic aircraft.

The Security Service of Ukraine published some of the most striking videos of strikes on Russian strategic aviation aircraft. As a result of Operation "Spider Web," personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and carried out by SSU Head Vasyl Malyuk and the Service’s team, 41 Russian aircraft were hit.

A significant portion of them were irreversibly destroyed, while some of the damaged aircraft will take many years to rebuild.

The footage shows FPV drone strikes by the SSU on four enemy airfields: Olenya, Ivanovo, Dyagilevo, and Belaya. These bases hosted the strategic aviation of the aggressor state, which regularly launches attacks on peaceful Ukrainian cities. Among the targeted aircraft were A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22, Tu-160, as well as An-12 and Il-78.

Total enemy aviation losses amount to 41 units.

During the operation, modern UAV control technology was used, combining autonomous artificial intelligence algorithms with manual operator control.

Specifically, some UAVs, after losing signal, continued their missions using AI along pre-planned routes. Once they approached and made contact with a designated target, the warhead activated automatically.

It’s worth noting that the estimated value of equipment destroyed as a result of the SSU operation exceeds 7 billion US dollars.

[Combat] The "BULAVA" UAV unit destroyed a Russian Zoopark counter-battery radar near Novopavlivka, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. (i.imgur.com)

⚡️Enemy "Zoopark" destroyed!

Novopavlivka direction.

🎯Today, drone operators of the BULAVA unit hunted down a very valuable target. The cost of this radar (count the zeros) is $24,000,000.

The Zoopark radar is a rare and formidable weapon. The enemy uses it for counter-battery warfare. The station precisely calculates the positions of artillery, mortars, and even air defense systems during firing. Because of this, it poses a significant threat to our guys on the front line.

The good news is that the Russians have very few "Zooparks." And now — one less.

Eastern direction 💥 An enemy short-range air defense system "Tor-M2" was destroyed in one of the key directions ❗Thanks to the skillful actions of the scouts of the "Chornyi Lis" (Black Forest) artillery reconnaissance brigade, it was possible to detect and adjust the strike on the Russian short-range air defense system "Tor-M2".🧨 📌The destruction of important samples of the occupying army's armament is a reduction in the enemy's capabilities on the battlefield for a long time. ✍️For reference: The short-range air defense system "Tor-M2" is designed for air and missile defense tasks, covering important military facilities and ground troops. The approximate cost of the complex is $25 million. 🎥 Video: "Chornyi Lis" (Black Forest) separate artillery reconnaissance brigade t.me/Khortytsky_wind

The seeker on the missile can track targets up to 40° off the missile's centerline. A turret would have to be pretty large and it would add extra cost, complexity, and point of potential failure. It's easier to just turn the boat.
