In August, drone forces destroyed three enemy air defense systems valued at $80–90 million, according to the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Drone Forces Telegram channel.
Operators of the 412th Nemesis Regiment eliminated two Tor-M2 SAM systems, a Buk-M3 launcher, and a radar system from a Buk-M2 SAM.
“The enemy is changing tactics, trying to stop us and hide, but in vain - our retaliation reaches its target,” the Drone Forces post stated.
They noted that innovative methods are not being disclosed yet, so videos of the strikes are not published for now, but they promised to release them later. Only photos have been shared so far.
“The 412th Nemesis Regiment continues to inflict multimillion-dollar losses on the enemy, targeting its most valuable equipment and disrupting offensive plans,” the statement reads.
Earlier, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported that since the beginning of 2025, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have destroyed over 305,000 Russian soldiers and nearly 30,000 units of enemy equipment.
Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the estimated losses of the Russian army amount to 1,097,450 personnel.
Among equipment losses, the enemy has lost 11,189 tanks, 23,277 armored fighting vehicles, and 32,846 artillery systems. Aviation losses include 422 aircraft and 341 helicopters.
