Russian Cluster Munitions Destroy S-300 Air Defense System
Published 2 years ago
Russian BM-30 Smerch cluster munitions reportedly targeted and destroyed a Ukrainian S-300 air defense system. The event was recorded by drone, and the exact location is unknown.
The cluster submunitions are designed to blanket an area target which is effective against infantry in the open or a column of vehicles like shown in the video. Due to the plethora of MANPADS and air defense artillery in Ukraine's arsenal, Russia has yet to take full control of the air space. Ukraine's air defense assets continue to be a primary target for Russian strikes in hopes of achieving that control.
