The Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed a modern Buk-M3 and an Osu air defense system in the south. In total, since the beginning of August, the Ukrainian military has eliminated six enemy anti-aircraft missile systems in the south.

Last night, Ukrainian defense forces in the southern sector destroyed a modern Buk-M3 air defense system, which has been in service with Russia since 2016, as well as an Osa air defense system. In total, in August, Ukrainian soldiers destroyed six occupiers' air defense systems in southern Ukraine. This was stated by Dmytro Lykhoviy, the spokesman of the Tavria operational and strategic grouping of troops, during a telethon on Thursday, UNN reports.

Details

"We should probably focus on the fact that we have some kind of genocide of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems, because since the beginning of the month, 6 of them have been destroyed, all in the Orikhivsk sector. Last night near the village of Zaporizhzhia in the Orikhiv sector, another Buk-M3 was destroyed in the occupied territory. This is a fairly modern, upgraded Russian air defense system that was adopted by the Russian army in 2016. Similarly, an "Osa" surface-to-air missile system was destroyed at night in the area of Velyki Kopani. If we add to this a Buk-M1, which was destroyed two days ago in the area of Ukrainske in the Huliaypillia section, as well as another Tor and two more Buks in the Orikhiv direction, we get the figure of 6 in fact for the week of August," said Lykhoviy.

Recall

There were 96 combat engagements in the frontline over the last day . The enemy continues to be most active in the Pokrovsk sector, where almost a third of its offensives took place.
