Operatives with the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry located and destroyed the Russian Osa anti-aircraft missile system.

The scouts used a cheap FPV drone to take down the valuable target, the agency stressed in a post on its website.

"The enemy's automated air defense system cost $10 million. Meanwhile, the FPV drone, which the scouts used to burn the Osa down is just several hundred dollars," the report says.
