Drone operators of the 412nd Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade "Nemesis" destroyed a Russian Prima P-18 radar station, a Tor surface-to-air missile system, and a Tunguska air defense missile-gun system in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk sectors.

Commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, reported this on Facebook and released footage of the combat operation, according to Ukrinform.

"USF birds destroyed a Prima P-18 radar system, a Tor SAM system, and a Tunguska missile-gun system on January 12 in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk sectors," Brovdi wrote.

According to him, "these are already the 9th, 10th, and 11th enemy radar and air defense systems destroyed between January 1 and 12."

"All targets were destroyed by middle-strike drones of the 412th Nemesis Brigade at a depth of over 100 kilometers from the line of contact, using warheads weighing more than ten kilograms, leaving no chance for the combat readiness of those lightly armored but highly valuable enemy assets," Brovdi said.
