The Ukrainian military released a video of an “explosion worth seeing” after another successful strike by its troops on Russian military equipment.

“Ukrainian fighter jets destroyed the Russian Buk air defense system.” The explosion after that is worth seeing,” the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine succinctly reports on page X about the strike attributed to the 14th separate regiment of the unmanned aviation complex of the Kyiv Air Force branch.

According to the website Oryx, which independently tracks the losses of both armed forces fighting in Ukraine, Russia has lost dozens of Buk anti-aircraft systems since the start of the war almost two years ago, as well as other weapons systems of the same category. .

Earlier this week, the Ukrainian military released a video showing the destruction of another Buk system inherited by Russia from the Soviet Union.

According to estimates, Russia had at least 440 Buk systems in its arsenal before the invasion of Ukraine, although the exact number is unknown. They entered service with the Soviet armed forces in 1980 and since then have undergone various stages of modernization.

Although in this case the system appears to have been destroyed by a kamikaze drone, in the early days of the Russian invasion, Kyiv forces successfully used Bayraktar TB-2 strike drones to destroy such medium-range air defense systems.

In its latest assessment, the General Staff in Kyiv claims that since the beginning of the war, Ukrainian forces have destroyed 630 Russian air defense systems.
