Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile systems and air defence crews on combat mission

Here is the footage of the combat work of the crews of the Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile systems and the crews of the air observation points of the Southern Group of Forces in the Artyomovsk direction of the special military operation. The air defence units of the Southern Group of Forces constantly monitor the airspace in the designated sector, preventing enemy air targets from conducting reconnaissance and dropping ammunition on the positions of our artillery units.

To detect and destroy them, aerial observation points are equipped, which allow timely detection and destruction of Ukrainian Armed Forces aircraft using heavy machine guns and man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems. The crews of the Strela-10 air defence system most often work against enemy unmanned aerial vehicles of the Furia type. FPV drones are destroyed by small arms and MANPADS.

The Strela-10 combat vehicle moves into position, turns around and, after detecting and capturing a target, launches anti-aircraft missiles. Every day, air defense units in this area destroy from 5 to 10 enemy UAVs; just one battery of the Strela-10 complex has destroyed more than 100 air targets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a short period of time.
