Paratroopers hit Tunguska SPAD in Kursk region
The soldiers from the 82nd Air Assault Brigade destroyed a Russian Tunguska self-propelled medium-range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery system.
The press service of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade published the video.
The Russian system was hit by an FPV drone in the Kursk region, where it was supposed to provide air defense for the Russian forces.
At the time of the attack, the Russian system was in a marching position.
With the increase in the active use of FPV drones, the crews of the Russian air defense systems began to lose significantly more army air the defense systems.
Detection and implementation of countermeasures to intercept FPV drones are not currently popular solutions, which allows the concept of the inexpensive products that can effectively combat Russian equipment at long distances and in the areas with less intense use of electronic warfare to be realized.
In addition to the Tunguska SPAD, the Russians lost the Osa-AKM surface-to-air missile system, which was destroyed by the Security Service of Ukraine.
This was done using an FPV drone from the Kryla unit when the Russian system was searching for air targets.
Militarnyi previously reported that the 413th Separate Unmanned Systems Battalion, together with the 78th Airborne Assault Regiment “Herts,” had targeted a Russian Buk-M3 with HIMARS in the Kursk region.
The released video shows that the drone crew discovered two vehicles from the Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system – a 9A316M TEL and a 9A317M TELAR.
OSINTer EjShahid identified that the hit took place southeast of Rylsk, in the Kursk oblast.
The Buk-M3 is the most modern version of this SAM. It uses missiles with active radar homing, which has significantly increased its effectiveness on the battlefield and performs not only air defense, but also missile defense.
