According to Ukrainian local media, Ukraine’s Chief of Staff said, “Early this morning, the Ukrainian army’s unmanned aerial system unit attacked a Russian anti-aircraft missile system in cooperation with other units as part of a mission to identify and destroy the enemy’s air defense system.”
Ukrainian forces reportedly attacked the 9A317M launcher of the Russian Buk-M3 air defense system 60 km away from the front line. The operating range of a typical ammunition-loaded drone is 20 km, and when equipped with a satellite communication antenna, it is about 40 km. Buk-M3 is Russia’s latest medium-range surface-to-air missile system introduced in 2016. It can intercept targets at a distance of up to 70 km and an altitude of 35 km, including aerial targets, precision-guided weapons, and tactical ballistic missiles.
