“The Ukrainian SBU military counterintelligence destroyed one BUK-M1 and three TOR-2M air defense systems of the Russian army.
One TOR-2M even tried to shoot down one Ukrainian drone but the missile missed/failed.”

Very interesting video.

The kamikaze drones in this video are not the FPV drone seen in many of the recent videos.

Since the BUK-M1 and TOR-2M systems are located well behind the FEBA, these new drones must have long range radio or satellite communications.

The drones also have a self-track (TV) capability.

The TOR-2M missile shot starts at 31 seconds on the video.

The TOR-2M missile is command guided with an RF proximity fuze.

Since the fuze did not function, the drone would be very stealthy.

The drone was probably optically tracked and not tracked by the TOR-2M radar.

IMHO, this drone type is a significant upgrade to UKR SEAD.
