The Security Service of Ukraine claims that drone attacks have destroyed Russian air defense systems worth 4 billion dollars.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) stated that attacks with long-range weapons over the past year have led to the destruction or incapacitation of Russian air defense systems, estimating the damage at approximately 4 billion dollars. Among the targeted systems are the S-300, S-350, S-400, as well as the BUK-M1, BUK-M2, and Pantsir-S1/S2 batteries. The SBU emphasized that these attacks have had a systemic impact, opening corridors in Russian air defense, thus facilitating the passage of Ukrainian drones deep into enemy territory. Additionally, the SBU reported the destruction of production halls at a drone factory in Taganrog, highlighting Ukraine's efforts to diminish Russia's combat capability. These actions are part of Ukraine's strategy to compensate for personnel and weaponry shortages in the face of Russian forces.
