Russia’s latest Buk-M3 surface-to-air missile systems are being tested in the area of the special military operation in Ukraine, demonstrating their excellent performance.
The Buk-M3 is a medium-range combat air defense system. It is designed to take on maneuverable aerodynamic targets, engage radio-contrast ground targets, and hit naval targets under intensive enemy fire and jamming.
Russian forces have been using this air defense missile system to neutralize various airborne threats in Ukraine. It was first spotted in Ukraine, fighting against Ukrainian forces in March 2022.
The head of the Military-Political Analysis Bureau, Alexander Mikhailov, told the Russian state-run media that “the special military operation” is a testing ground where the teams of combat equipment strike at actual targets rather than the practice ones.
The expert signaled that the weapon system has already demonstrated its full combat capabilities in Ukraine.
“As the enemy employs new tactics and strategies, Russian personnel raise their qualitative level, cope with new objectives and improve their military skills,” Mikhailov added.
