Ukrainian drones destroy Russian Buk-M1 system and strike training centre and oil depots in occupied territories

Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed a Russian Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system in the temporarily occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast and struck a number of other Russian facilities in the occupied parts of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts as well as in Crimea on the night of 10-11 March.

Quote: "The night was intense. The birds [drones – ed.] of the Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed a Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system on the night of 10-11 March 2026 and a number of military targets."

Details: Brovdi noted that the Buk-M1 is designed to combat manoeuvring aerodynamic targets – cruise missiles, guided bombs, aircraft, helicopters and drones – at low and medium altitudes from 30 to 18,000 m amidst intense electronic countermeasures. The system was detected and destroyed in the temporarily occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

A video released by Brovdi also shows a strike on a training centre and a permanent deployment point for Russian military personnel in the occupied part of Donetsk Oblast.

The Russian forces' location was struck by Ukrainian-made FP-2 medium-range drones with a 60-100kg warhead.

The footage shows at least two drone strikes hitting the facility in Donetsk Oblast.

The video also records strikes on other Russian facilities in the occupied territories, specifically:

• a temporary deployment point of the Rubicon-7 Reserve unit in Zaporizhzhia Oblast
• a fuel and lubricants storage point in Zaporizhzhia Oblast
• a command post and logistics storage point belong to a unit from the 108th Air Assault Regiment of Russia's 7th Air Assault Division near the settlement of Pryshyb in Zaporizhzhia Oblast
• an oil depot in the village of Pishchane in occupied Crimea
• fuel tankers at the Azov oil depot in the settlement of Azovske in Crimea.
