The SOF command reported this on its Facebook page, according to Ukrinform.

“The Buk-M3 is a critical air defense system for Russian forces, capable of engaging targets in the air, on the ground, and at sea. During a special reconnaissance mission in an operational zone, SOF operators located a Buk-M3 on combat duty and an Uragan-1 MLRS,” the report said.
