Quote: "We promised that Russian air defence systems would continue to burn – and we are keeping that promise. At the end of June, Lasar's Group, a separate special-purpose unit in the National Guard of Ukraine, carried out strikes on two air defence systems – a Buk-M3 and an S-300."

Details: Lasar's Group reported that the operation took place on the Kostiantynivka front. The unit's analysts had gathered intelligence on a potential location of Russian air defence assets, identifying where Russian forces might be concealing such valuable equipment.

Aerial reconnaissance crews from Lasar's Group were deployed to verify the information. Their drones flew deep behind the line of contact and discovered a hidden position where the Buk-M3 and S-300 systems were stationed under cover.

Quote: "Strike units then hit the equipment. Both systems were hit, significantly weakening Russian air defence on the Kostiantynivka front. We are repaying the enemy in kind."
