Quote: "Long-range strikes by the SSU's Special Operations Centre Alpha halved the number of Russian Pantsir surface-to-air artillery and missile systems in 2025."

Details: The SSU said the Pantsir is one of Russia's key modern air defence systems. A single system costs between US$15 million and US$20 million. Pantsirs are among the most effective systems in countering Ukraine's long-range drones.

Quote: "That is why the systematic destruction of Pantsir systems has a strategic goal: to break through the enemy's air defence and create corridors to strike targets deep in its rear. This enables Ukraine's defence forces to operate effectively against military bases, warehouses, airfields and other occupier facilities."

More details: The total value of all Russian air defence systems destroyed by the SSU's Special Operations Centre Alpha in 2025 is estimated at about US$4 billion.
