However, the main trophies were anti-aircraft missile systems. For example, the drones were able to hit one Buk-M1 and three Tor-M2 systems at once. The video shows how the drone dodged a missile fired at it, then caught up with and destroyed the target. The cost of one anti-aircraft missile system is $25 million.
The list of destroyed targets does not end there. In a statement, the Security Service said that together with the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it managed to eliminate an additional 84 units of enemy equipment, including seven tanks, six Grad multiple rocket launchers, six self-propelled howitzers, 11 cannons and 21 armored vehicles.
