Footage of Ukrainian AN-196 "Lyuty" kamikaze UAVs being destroyed by Russian air defense systems of an unknown type. Some speculate that the BM-30-D "Spitsa" combat module was used, previously shown on a KamAZ-43269 "Vystrel" armored vehicle. The design of the stationary version of the BM-30-D "Spitsa" module is shown on the screen. The AN-196 "Lyuty" UAV has been produced in Ukraine since 2022 and costs $200,000.
Scenes from Russian air defense operations during the repelling of a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow and the Moscow region on May 17-18. Pantsir-S1/SM and Tor-M2 air defense systems were used to repel the attack. The air defenses performed well, but it was impossible to shoot down all the drones. Over the course of 24 hours, the Pantsir-S and Tor-M2 air defense systems shot down over 120 Ukrainian drones. It's worth noting that defending targets across Russia is impossible, as the country doesn't have that many air defense systems. This is currently considered the largest Ukrainian drone attack. The Ukrainian army used the Bars kamikaze jet drone, the FP-1 kamikaze UAV, the An-196 Lyuty, and other models in the attack.
