The Ukrainian Armed Forces showed the Slovakian 2K12M2 “Cube-M2” complex live
An analyst with the nickname Praise The Steph posted a video on his X-account. It shows a 2P25 TEL launcher with a missing ammunition and a 1S91 SURN radar. They are part of the “Kub-M2” system supplied to the Ukrainian army in Slovakia.
In early spring this year, the Ukrainian Armed Forces received two batteries of such systems from the Slovak government. In late summer, two more batteries arrived in Ukraine from the Czech Republic. It is worth noting that the Czechs provided the Ukrainian Armed Forces with 1S91 SURN radars, upgraded to the SURN CZ version.

The Kub-M2 system uses 3M9M3E anti-aircraft missiles to engage targets. During the modernization, Czech specialists filled them with new fuel.
The “Kub” system was developed by Soviet designers. It consists of a targeting cabin, a self-propelled guidance unit and four launchers. Each launcher carries three 3M9 anti-aircraft missiles. The battery also includes two transport and reloading vehicles with six 3M9M3 missiles.
