On March 6, 2026, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed four Russian self-propelled air defense systems in occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. The strikes targeted a Buk system and an S-300V, employing Ukrainian-made FP-2 drones.

The Buk system is valued at approximately $100 million, while the S-300V serves to protect military assets. Additionally, Pantsir-S1 and Tor systems were hit, with costs for Pantsir-S1 units ranging from $13.15 million to $14.67 million and Tor-M1 units about $25 million. This operation is part of Ukraine's strategy to neutralize Russian air defense networks.
