Drones of the Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed five Russian surface-to-air missile systems and one “Vityaz” radar within 48 hours using middle-strike capabilities in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.

This was reported on January 14 by Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major Robert “Madyar” Brovdi.

Specifically, the following were destroyed:

  • TOR SAM system;

  • Vityaz 50N6E radar;

  • Buk SAM system;

  • Buk-M1 SAM system;

  • Strela-10 SAM system;

  • Tor-M2 SAM system.

The combat missions were carried out by the “birds” of the 412th Nemesis Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces in coordination with the newly established Deep Strike Center of the USF Grouping over a 48-hour period, January 12–14, 2026.

“Meanwhile, the stray Strela-10 SAM system was hit by the birds of the 413th USF Regiment ‘Raid’. The operational depth of strikes ranged from 46 to 160 km from the line of combat engagement, with a warhead exceeding 10 kg, leaving no chance for combat effectiveness of those lightly armored but high-value enemy assets”, — the USF Commander noted.
