"The photo shows fighters from the mobile fire group. During this morning's missile attack, they destroyed a Kalibr cruise missile that was flying towards one of the settlements in western Ukraine. The MANPADS gunner had only seconds to react and engage the target. An accurate launch, and the Kalibr was destroyed in midair," the post says.
