Ukrainian kamikaze drones destroy Russian Tor-M2 and S-300VM air defence systems worth tens of millions of dollars

Following the TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system, the Ukrainian Security Service has used kamikaze drones to target two anti-aircraft missile systems at once. The kamikaze drones have once again demonstrated their effectiveness.

Here's What We Know

This time, the Ukrainian Security Service used drones to destroy Tor-M2 and S-300VM SAM launchers. The cost of the first anti-aircraft missile system is more than $20m.

The price of the second SAM is not specified. However, it is known that it was adopted for service in the early XXI century, i.e. it is a very new antiaircraft missile system. It is an improved version of the Soviet-made S-300V.

Last year Ukraine received several bomber munitions, including Switchblade 300, Phoenix Ghost and Warmate. However, the Security Service does not specify which drones were used to attack the Tor-M2 and S-300VM SAMs.
