Key Points:
- Ukraine’s Lasar’s Group special operations unit successfully destroyed two Russian air defense systems—a Buk-M3 and an S-300V—hidden at the same location behind the front line in the Kostiantynivka area in late June.
- The operation was preceded by detailed intelligence gathering and aerial reconnaissance deep beyond the front line, which confirmed the concealed position of both systems.
- Ukrainian forces used heavy bomber drones and FPV strike drones to attack the site once the coordinates were verified.
- The Buk-M3, introduced in 2016, is a modern Russian air defense system capable of engaging various aerial threats up to 70 kilometers away, with an estimated launcher cost of $40-50 million.
- The S-300V is a tracked, long-range system designed to protect against ballistic missiles and engage aircraft and cruise missiles at distances up to 100 kilometers.
