The Ukrainian Defence Forces have destroyed a Russian Buk surface-to-air missile system. The launcher was eliminated with the assistance of a drone.

Here's What We Know

The M142 HIMARS multiple rocket launcher destroyed a self-propelled launcher of the Buk surface-to-air missile system. The EOS C VTOL reconnaissance drone was used to adjust the fire.

The drone was developed by Estonian company Threod Systems. It can reach a speed of 110 kilometres per hour and has a range of 120 kilometres. At the same time, the radius is no more than 50 kilometres.

Serhiy Prytula's charity foundation last week opened a fundraiser for five unmanned aerial systems, each consisting of a control station and three drones. It needs ₴120 million ($3.25 million) to buy EOS C VTOLs for the Ukrainian Defence Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate. More than half of the amount has already been raised.
