The Ukrainian Armed Forces have once again demonstrated the effectiveness of low-cost kamikaze drones. FPV drones successfully destroyed the Russian Tor complex.
Here's What We Know
The video of the defeat of the target "Tor" by kamikaze drones was published by Ukrainian blogger and volunteer Sergey Sternenko. He wrote that the Russian surface-to-air missile system was destroyed by FPV drones of the 103rd Territorial Defence Brigade.

The soldiers of the Kryla subdivision of the 103rd Territorial Defence Brigade on the Kupʼm_2BC↩Yanskoe strain have used several of your drones to attack and demolish the Russian Tor SAM system!
The cost of such a system is from 24 million dollars or more. That's 900 million... pic.twitter.com/Z0Gexy4z5q
The Tor surface-to-air missile system is valued at $25 million. At the same time, the cost of one kamikaze drone averages $500. This means that the drones destroyed an air defence system that costs 50,000 times as much.
Moreover, Serhiy Sternenko helped purchase approximately 14,000 FPV drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. One Russian Tor complex costs four times as much as all the drones purchased.
