Russian forces have targeted a suspected British-supplied 'Raven' short-range air defense system used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The system, built on a Supacat HMT 6×6 chassis and armed with AIM-132 ASRAAM missiles, was seen in the crosshairs of a Russian Lancet loitering munition. The footage, shared by Russian military channels, highlights the ongoing attritional drone warfare targeting high-value Western-supplied equipment on the front lines. The outcome of the strike was not immediately confirmed.
