Fighters from the 423rd Separate Battalion of Unmanned Systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, “Scythian Griffins,” destroyed a Russian Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile system designed to observe and shoot down targets at low altitudes.

The battalion's press service reported this on Facebook and published a video of the combat operation, Ukrinform reports.

“Such installations are no longer manufactured in Russia, and the approximate cost of replacement is $6–8 million. Most importantly, it was destroyed by a drone that is 250 times cheaper. We continue to destroy Russian air defense systems,” the military said.
