The Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a series of coordinated attacks against Russian air defense systems between March 22 and 23, hitting strategic targets both in occupied territories and within Russia itself.
The operations involved the use of specialized units and drones, expanding the reach of Ukrainian military actions.
In the Donetsk region, in the vicinity of the village of Kurakhivka, a Tor-M1 anti-aircraft system was destroyed. Considered an important component of short-range air defense, the equipment has radar capable of identifying aerial targets dozens of kilometers away and missiles with interception capacity at different altitudes.
The offensive was led by the 9th “Kairos” Battalion, part of the 414th Unmanned Systems Brigade known as “Birds of Madyar”. The unit’s actions reinforce the growing role of unmanned technologies in Ukrainian military operations.

At the same time, attacks were also recorded in Russia’s Bryansk region, where a 2S6 Tunguska system was hit, as well as a Nebo-U radar in the vicinity of Suponeve. The latter is one of the most advanced aerial surveillance systems, capable of detecting aircraft and missiles at great distances, making its neutralization a significant blow to Russian monitoring capabilities.
