Ukrainian forces have successfully destroyed russian Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system, dealing a significant blow to the enemy's air defense capabilities on one of the key frontlines.
The strike was carried out with precision thanks to the reconnaissance efforts of the Chornyi Lis Brigade. Ukrainian scouts located the Buk-M1 system as it was being relocated with a full ammunition load, enabling a coordinated and devastating artillery strike.

Footage from the operation shows the dramatic detonation of the system's ammunition, a vivid confirmation of the strike's effectiveness. The destruction of such a high-value target not only weakens russia's ability to defend its airspace in the area but also inflicts long-term damage to its battlefield capabilities.
The Buk-M1 is a mobile air defense system designed to engage maneuvering aerial targets at low and medium altitudes. It remains one of the cornerstone components of russia's layered air defense. The estimated value of the Buk-M1 system is approximately $10 million.
Each successful hit on critical enemy assets like this represents a strategic gain for Ukraine in its ongoing defense against russian aggression.
