Ukrainian FP-2 Strike Drones Obliterate Russian Buk, S-300V, Pantsir and Tor Systems, Video

Ukrainian drone forces carried out a series of strikes overnight targeting several Russian air defense systems in occupied areas of southern Ukraine, according to the chief of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, on March 6.

The attacks hit four self-propelled components of Russia’s air defense network, including the Buk surface-to-air missile system, the S-300V medium-range system, the Pantsir-S1 air defense gun-missile system, and the Tor short-range air defense system, Brovdi, widely known by the callsign “Madyar,” said.

The strikes were carried out by units of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, whose operations increasingly focus on degrading Russian air defense capabilities across the battlefield.

According to Brovdi, personnel from the 9th Battalion “Kairos” of the 414th Separate Brigade, known as “Madyar’s Birds,” conducted strikes against two of the systems using a Ukrainian-made FP-2 middle-strike drone equipped with a 60-kilogram warhead.

Those attacks targeted a Buk system located in occupied parts of the Kherson region and a S-300V medium-range air defense system deployed in occupied areas of the Zaporizhzhia region.

Additional strikes were carried out by pilots from the 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces, who used the same FP-2 strike platform but fitted with a larger 100-kilogram warhead.

These operations reportedly destroyed or damaged Pantsir-S1 and Tor air defense systems positioned in the occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region.

“Detection and destruction of enemy air defense components across long-, medium-, and short-range systems is one of the priorities of the Unmanned Systems Forces,” Brovdi said.

Ukrainian military units have increasingly focused on targeting Russian air defense networks in recent months, aiming to weaken the layered protection that shields Russian command posts, logistics hubs, and aviation assets in occupied territories.

Earlier, Ukrainian drone operators targeted and destroyed an advanced Russian S-400 “Triumph” anti-aircraft missile system inside Russian territory.
