The effect of HARM anti-radar missiles - Bayraktar TB2 destroyed two Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile systems

In recent days, the activity of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones in Ukraine has sharply increased. The reason was the appearance of AGM-88 HARM missiles to the Armed Forces.

Here's What We Know

A few days ago, several videos were published showing the Bayraktar TB2 destroying several Russian tanks and an Acacia self-propelled artillery unit. The new video shows the elimination of two Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile systems at once.

The Russian SAMs are designed for anti-aircraft defense, but in the case of the two Tor-M1 units, something went wrong. Probably, before using Bayraktar TB2, the Armed Forces used American AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles against anti-aircraft missile systems, after which the SAMs could not defend themselves against attack drones.
