Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have struck three Russian air-defense systems in three days, with their combined value estimated at 60 million dollars, according to the Unmanned Systems Forces' post.
According to the report, operators of the Asgard battalion of the 412th Nemesis Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces, working together with the 12th Special Operations Center and the HUR special unit Kabul 9, hit three high-value Russian air-defense systems.
The targeted systems were a Buk-M1, a Buk-M2, and a Tor-M2. The total value of this equipment is estimated at 60 million dollars. These systems are key components of Russia's air-defense network at the operational-tactical and operational depth. Their destruction significantly weakens the protection of critical areas and strategic facilities.

Earlier, on the night of November 28, the Madyar's Birds unit attacked and disabled the Saratov oil refinery in Russia. Ten targets across Russian territory were attacked that night in total.
On November 24, the Unmanned Systems Forces struck the Perekop Bromine Plant in Krasnoperekopsk in temporarily occupied Crimea. A major power substation was also targeted.
On November 13, it became known that Madjar’s Birds destroyed a base hosting Russian Orion strike drones in Crimea.
Fighters of the 413th Raid Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces also successfully destroyed a new and rare type of Russian assault vehicle near the border of the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions. This successful strike disrupted Russia’s plans to push deeper into Ukrainian territory.
Before that, operators of the 14th Separate UAV Regiment / 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out a series of successful strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. Several electrical substations supplying the occupied Luhansk region were hit.
