Based on the footage from the Ukrainian military, a reconnaissance drone detected the presence of the occupiers' air defense vehicles, which were positioned in a field adjacent to a forest plantation.
The video likely captured the radar used for illuminating and guiding anti-aircraft missiles, along with the mobile control posts mounted on truck chassis. At the same time, it is likely that the S-300 or S-400 systems themselves were scattered at a distance from each other and camouflaged.
After detecting the enemy equipment, the Ukrainian command made the decision to destroy it.
The russian air defense system's components were destroyed by GMLRS rockets launched from the American M142 HIMARS multiple rocket launcher.
Earlier Defense Express reported that russian occupiers had complained about state of air defense but their commanders had ignored it.
