Buk-M1-2 system downs Ukraine's Vector German-made drone

TEHRAN, Feb. 26 (MNA) – The crews of the Buk-M1-2 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) of the Battlegroup South detected and shot down a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufactured by Germany's Vector, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"Usually, one missile hits one target. This time, the system hit a Ukrainian UAV manufactured by Germany's Vector. The drone was detected and shot down at a distance safe for our troops," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The agency remarked that the Buk-M1-2 SAM offers reliable protection for the units of the Battlegroup South, shielding them from enemy air attacks.
