Details: The Unmanned Systems Forces pointed out that hitting a moving target is always a challenge, but striking a Tor while it is on the move is a different level of difficulty altogether.

A video released by Ukrainian forces shows that drone operators from the 9th Separate Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces handled the task with confidence. The operation was carried out in coordination with the Deep Strike Centre, a Ukrainian unit responsible for long-range operations.

Sources told Ukrainska Pravda that the strike had taken place the day before, on 29 March.

Quote: "Result: a Tor has been damaged, the enemy's air defence on this front is weakening and the defence forces have more room to operate. #AirDefenceCide continues. The hunt goes on."
