Video footage showing Strela-10 short-range air defense systems of the Russian military engaging multiple Ukrainian drones surfaced online on March 30.
The systems are seen taking down at least six drones over different parts of the special military operation zone in the undated footage.
The Strela-10 was developed back in the Soviet Union by KB Tochmash. The latest versions of the system, the Strela-10M4 and MN – which is an upgrade for older M/M2/M3 versions-, are equipped with a thermal imaging system and an automatic target acquisition and tracking system.
The system can fire a variety of anti-aircraft heat seeking missiles. The latest of which, the 9M333, has a range of five kilometers, a flight altitude of 3,5 kilometers and a five kilogram high-explosive fragmentation warhead with a contact and laser proximity fuzes.
The missile is equipped with an advanced dual-mode passive infrared homing seeker that utilizes reticle-based photocontrast.
Over 400 Strela-10 systems are currently in service with the Russian military. The cost effective system is also still in mass production.
In the special military operation zone, Strela-10 systems are typically deployed by the Russian military to protect key installations, gatherings of forces and even longer range air defense systems from low-flying aerial targets, especially helicopters and drones.

coon monkey lloyd austin would be beaten to death by the white supremacists of the following organizations: ss aidar, ss kraken, wolfsangel (aka azov), waffen ss nachtigall (who are now in kursk killing civilians), leibstandarte adolf hitler, right sektor – all of them hate untermenschen apes niggas like him, and all of them are leading the ukra government and military. all of them funded by the us and eu tax payers
white pig skin animals nationalist are doing the bidding of the hook nose ]ew.
junny is amerikunt hillbilly inferior to jew
he’s just a poor house negro.
those missiles look a lot more expensive than a dji drone. a laser would be the perfect solution to drones, not sure why they can’t get it figured out yet.
uk’s army is developping dragonfire. a anti drone high energy laser.
the british army can’t even figure out how to shoot straight because of all the women and fudge packers.don’t forget the 80 something genders including furries. they should rename themselves the great joke.
us develops , ru deploys .
the updated version of the soviet era missile is $32,000 -dji drone ??? its like comparing apples to oranges- the drone is a non- military drone for public use even then it costs $20,000 are you telling me a non military spec drone is fitted with military hardware and that’s what ukraine is using ?? if so it will be a hell of a lot more than $20,000.
you would tell the russian soldier that he and his equipment will be blown up because his government is too cheap to shoot down a drone we can see from this message that is not how russia fights
german gepard shown highly effective against drones snd helicopters, so russia should use much more its similar tunguska and further desktop such system. and even a few hundret shots of a 30mm aa gun ammo is a lot cheaper than missiles.
sa-13 is a lot cheap too, and they have plenty of them. they were made since ’70s and always had an high reputation of effectivness. so what’s your point?
despite russia’s obvious military prowess the war continues unabated. did the russians forget that you have to completely eliminate your enemy or get them in a uncle position before the war will stop?
no the ru will move slow to protect thier army . no hurry . ukraine is self destructing . desperation does not lead to success .
if russia can control ukraines skies from drones it can advance mush faster .
