Defense Forces destroy S-300 air defense missile systems in temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhia region – AFU General Staff
On Saturday, August 2, the Defense Forces of Ukraine carried out a high-precision strike on Russian military facilities in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhia region, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.
"As a result of the operation, the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system of the Russian occupation forces was destroyed by long-range fire weapons. The elimination of this target significantly reduces the enemy's long-range firepower and reduces its ability to shell the positions of the Defense Forces of Ukraine and the civilian infrastructure of the region," the message posted on the Telegram channel says.
It is noted that this strike once again confirms the effectiveness and accuracy of Ukrainian units in identifying and destroying critical enemy targets, including in the temporarily occupied territories.
"The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue the systematic destruction of key elements of Russia's military potential, which weakens the enemy's ability to conduct combat operations, maintain illegally seized territories, and ensure occupation. Ukraine will continue the fight until the complete withdrawal of Russian occupation forces, the restoration of territorial integrity, and the establishment of a just and lasting peace," the General Staff noted.
