In Video: Russian Kh-35 Missile Takes Out Ukrainian S-300P Air Defense System

 

On August 19, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported the destruction of another S-300P air defense system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region. The claim was supported by the footage filmed by Russian reconnaissance UAV in the Ukrainian rear area.

Ukrainian air defense system was spotted by Russian aerial reconnaissance near the village of Volnoe in the border Kharkiv region. The Ukrainian military used the S-300P for the strikes on civilian facilities in the Russian Belgorod region.

After the target was assigned, the Su-34 supersonic fighter-bomber of the Russian Aerospace Forces launched a precision strike on the S-300P anti-aircraft missile system. The Russian Ministry of Defense clarified that the strike was launched by a Kh-35 guided missile. As a result of the strike, the system was destroyed. The fire and detonation of the launcher are seen on the footage.

The Russian military added that ”after receiving confirmation from intelligence about the destruction of the identified target, the crew of the Su-34 returned safely to the airfield.”

Amid the ongoing military operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Russian Kursk region, as well as a series of unsuccessful attempts to cross Russian border in other areas including in the Belgorod region, the Ukrainian military was forced to deploy a large number of expensive and precious systems, including air defense systems supplied by NATO, to the border areas. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukrainian and their patrons in NATO are suffering heavy losses. In recent days, Russian precision strikes destroyed at least three HIMARS MLRS, Patriot, IRIS-T and other systems near the border.
