Ukraine destroys rare target
Ukrainian troops from the 3rd Assault Brigade have destroyed a rare piece of Russian equipment for the first time since the start of the full-scale war: a transporter-loader vehicle for the Buk-M3 surface-to-air missile system, the brigade said.
"Fighters from the 3rd Assault Brigade’s Unmanned Systems Battalion tracked down and destroyed a transporter-loader vehicle carrying a supply of surface-to-air guided missiles to reload a Buk-M3 system," the military said.
The video is the only confirmed strike on equipment of this specific modification.
