On the eastern front, Ukrainian reconnaissance located and helped destroy a Russian Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system valued at about $25 million, informs the Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Grouping of Troops.
Thanks to the skilled actions of reconnaissance soldiers from the 15th Separate Brigade of Artillery Reconnaissance "Black Forest", Ukrainian forces detected and adjusted fire on the Russian Tor-M2 short-range air defense missile.
"The destruction of key weapons of the Russian army reduces the enemy's combat capabilities for an extended period," the Khortytsia grouping said.
The short-range Tor-M2 system is designed for air and missile defense tasks. It protects critical military facilities and ground troops.
The estimated value of this system is $25 million.
