Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have struck a Russian Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile and gun system at the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol.

According to Ukrinform, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, announced this on Facebook and published a video of the combat operation.

"The Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system was hunted down by pilots of the 413th Separate Battalion Raid of the Unmanned Systems Forces using a Ukrainian-made middle strike system,' Brovdi said.

According to him, detecting and destroying components of the enemy's long-, medium-, and short-range air defense systems is one of the priorities for the Unmanned Systems Forces.
