The press service of the Requiem Group, a unit of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has released new footage showing their FPV drone operators eliminating another piece of russian military equipment.
A notable aspect of the video is that the FPV drones were launched from an ambush. One drone successfully disabled the engine of a russian Strela-10 air defense system, while another delivered the final strike, destroying it completely.

Interestingly, the enemy had concealed the air defense system deep in a forest. However, as the Requiem Group noted, the russians inadvertently exposed its location. The system was discovered thanks to individuals who unknowingly revealed its position while standing nearby.
The attack was coordinated using a reconnaissance drone, which provided real-time target adjustments.
According to the Oryx database, russian forces have lost a total of 51 Strela-10 air defense systems to date. Of these, 42 were destroyed, four were captured by Ukrainian forces, three were damaged, and two were abandoned.
