Ukraine Destroys Two Russian Air Defence Systems: Tor-M2 (Completely Destroyed) and Tunguska

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Hello everyone. A nice little video here showing the destruction of some Russian air defense systems. Notably hit here.

[00:00:05]First is a TORM2 short-range SAM system which is seen moving across a field when a FP22 drone hits the side. The destruction of this is clarified by the second drone that flies in to hit it.

[00:00:17]The tour is abandoned with debris scattered all around. Then a third drone flies overhead and sees that the tour has pretty much disintegrated after the other drone strike, completely destroyed. So this is a really good strike on an important short range SAM system of Russia given the level of destruction here. Maybe the missiles inside here detonated as well. But then FP2 drones do pack quite a punch. It's tricky to get a number for the total number of tours that Russia had. They had 129 in service with at least 70 confirmed as destroyed, but they are still under production. So more have been sent since and many to strikes haven't been added to orex because no spotter records the impact. I'd estimate over 80 truly destroyed so far, maybe as many as 90. Next up, we have another air defense system. This time a Tonguska self-propelled AA gun. This is deployed in the field. This time it isn't a FP2 drone, but something else. You can tell by the hood. Lightly a lighter mid-range strike drone or similar. This is a spotter drone here as well which confirms the impact on the Tonguska and shows the fire burning afterwards. So this is a pretty cool strike. Russia had 190 Tonguskas in service with 16 destroyed so far on orics. So these are quite rare to see in Ukraine possibly because we're very outdated now. There was a report maybe last year or the year before from Ukraine saying that their own Tonguskas do struggle to intercept drones. Don't have a location from the Tonguska, but I can check where the tour was. The red marker shows its location.

[00:01:51]This is geoloccated by Dominic on Twitter. Now, this wasn't its deployment point. Remember on the video, it was moving at the time of the strike. And this image here doesn't tell us much other than it being in Zaparizia region.

[00:02:04]But you can see on deep states that this is just over 30 km from the front line.

[00:02:08]Now, the tours off short-range systems which couldn't cover the front line from here. It's possible it was deployed closer to cover the front lines and was caught heading south to hide it as it was moving or it's deployed in this region here in order to provide close-range protection of a potential key target in the area. We can't say for certain. So that's it for this video.

[00:02:28]Just a short one here, but worth a look I thought. Hope you found it interesting. If so, please click like and subscribe. I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much and take care everybody.
