Ukrainian Forces Destroy $10 Million Russian Buk-M1 Missile System in the East, Video

Ukrainian forces have destroyed a Russian Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system along with its ammunition on one of the key fronts in the east of Ukraine.

This was reported by the Khortytsia operational-strategic group.

“Thanks to the skilled actions of reconnaissance officers from the Black Forest Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade, a Russian Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system — along with its ammunition — was detected and destroyed while on the move,” Khortytsia wrote on their Telegram channel.

The Buk-M1 is a Russian self-propelled surface-to-air missile system designed to engage maneuvering aerodynamic targets at low and medium altitudes. The estimated cost of such a system is around $10 million.

On March 19, Ukrainian intelligence reported that Ukrainian forces struck high-value Russian radar stations in temporarily occupied Crimea. The strikes also targeted air defense systems, naval vessels, and a helicopter.
