Ukrainian forces have released new video footage showcasing drone attacks on Russian short-range air defense systems, specifically targeting Tor and Osa units. The attacks employed smaller B-2 drones, rather than larger Fire Point UAVs, which carry a 7-11 kg warhead and use Starlink for guidance, making them resistant to electronic warfare. The video shows the drones evading missile fire from the air defense systems before striking the vehicles and causing secondary fires. Analysts note that while Russia's Pantsir system has received new anti-drone missiles, older systems like the Tor and Osa are forced to use less effective standard anti-aircraft munitions, making them frequent targets.
