The Buk stops here.

How is Russia ever going to sell weapons again?

Remember that, although Russia has always had the scariest air-defence network in history (lol) in 1987, an 18 year old German kid landed his Cessna in the heart of Moscow, completely unopposed. He was arrested the moment he got out of his plane, but that was far too late.

A top report as always. Fireman Sam made me chuckle

One should not overlook the fact that the monitoring drone was flying unopposed before, during and after the attack.

I think the radar was a decoy and the spotter had figured that out. First time I've seen fire response like that in the field, almost like they were expecting to put a fire out

First line of defense: a Buk SAM system successfully destroyed a RAM II UAV.

🇺🇦🇺🇦 SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦🇺🇦

🇺🇦 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦. ✌🏼

I wouldn't worry about the radar vehicle, the missile's warhead is a fragmentation type and the radar vehicle was parked well within the Buk's lethal radius.

It's RAM-X i think. RAM-2 fell through about a year ago and was never used in numbers but RAM-X is here to stay. The shark drones that watch the target actually work as relays for RAM-X. It's actually expensive but it's got a 100km range so its going to live up to the hype.

Another one bites the dust!

Thank you, Sucho, for your ongoing support and news of the fundraisers. 🙏💛💙🇺🇦

They might have thought the explosion would have taken out the radar unit and gambled on hitting the missiles as the primary target. IMHO 🇺🇲❤️🇺🇦

I am pretty sure the extension cord connecting the two units became unplugged.

Seems the message from the AFU is : "If you try to attack here again, you'll face some serious problems..."

The radar may be detectable when in use thus it will then lead to locating other equipment.

Partytime for vlad🍾🥂👏👏👏

Fireman Sam 😆 Shiver me Tweakers !

Suchomimus is Top 🙏🤘💪👍

The dude with the firehose is priceless.

Thanks Sucho 👍👍👍

BONK

One Russian colonel to another: "Hey buddy, can you spare a Buk?"

I am sure that it damaged the radar...

Thanks! 💙💛💙

Slava Ukraini

💙🇺🇦🇺🇦💛

1st line of defence???? well defended vlad 🤣🤣

Thank you for the update

Not a Buk to be tossed aside lightly... Oh no... Maybe it was

1:27 did I hear "close to the "Sue-me!" region? Seems like an appropriate name to me....

What about the guy sprinting away at the top of the screen, at the very start of the video? Any thoughts, anyone?

Hmmm another Buk system 🤔 seen 100's of these during the last several months, obliterated...gone 🙊

Thank you good sir

Good vid

Tks. Cda.

With the way the launcher cooks off that radar had to catch some shrapnel damage at least.

The radar might have been a… Decoy. They did get the missile unit. For sure.

What’s the status of the Russian troops who had invaded the Belgorad region? Did they withdraw?

Maybe the system was in transit and the Russians went for some mushroom picking.

James Cameron just told the Ukrainians to take off the gloves. It's not escalation, it's what you do when your friend has been punched in the face. Here, mate, he's got a knife, you need a cricket bat. See how I'm adapting to British ways?

The Person trying to dust it down probably assured everyone Nah is Perfectly safe here they can't see it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 probably oh damn im dead im dead.

What’s russia’s air defense doing?

WHERE was the water coming from?

Thank you for the update. Maybe they are hoping they will move the Radar vehicle to where the other 8 launchers are hidden.

😂🎉

This is a whole new level of trooling on war.

It's what they shot down mh17 with. Civil aviation in the region is a little bit safer.

Weird. All those full trees to hide in.

Erm, the Buk IS a deadly system. It was simply never designed to detect, track and engage small UAVs, simple as. People assume it's trivial to deal with tiny, slow/hovering targets with a radar - it's not.

I wonder if the calculation was something like: hit the launcher with the small drone because it is likely to cook off and possibly destroy the nearby radar. Whereas hitting the radar could possible suffer less damage when hit by a sole small drone.

The BUK got Rammed too!

I wonder if the BUK that shot down MH17 is out there somewhere rusting and charred in a Ukranian field

Looks like they are more confident of causing damage to the launcher. The drone goes for the missiles themselves, rather than the vehicle, which makes sense as the missiles are not armoured at all. It looks (to my ignorant eyes) like the drone had an incendiary warhead which would only really do damage by igniting the missile motors.

What happen to Russian jamming?

🎉🎉🎉

I don’t think fireman Sam will have survived that explosion.

That was most likely a decoy radar as it was way to close the the launcher.

The skies have become a little safer for civilian airlines

So......... the driver didn't want to move the high value target radar whilst the the Buk missile cooks off beside it. Who knew?

Do BUK launchers travel around with high pressure fire tenders?

But what I want to know is where did that guy find a fire hose.

Maybe the Radar had a jammer on it.

Yeah, same thought: why didn't ammo cook off? Could it be a mock-up? Or broken vehicle with mock-up rockets? Only thing is that they wouldn't try to extinguish a mock-up, but still weird.

Wow comme de lait qui explose

🦝💙💛🦝💙💛🦝💙💛🦝 слава Україні! Героям слава! Дякую!

❤😂🎉

All defense contracts either on hold or cancelled with India & China. And can you blame them for not wanting to deal with russian drone magnets?

Does anyone know if any of the Russian or Iranian piston-engined drones uses nitro-methane fuel? This always used to be used in small engines for RC models when I were a lad. The reason why I am asking is that the Americans are accusing Russia of using chloropicrin as a chemical weapon in Ukraine. This made sense during WWI with the chemical industry as it was and picric acid being a popular explosive (not with the girls in the factories, but the decision-makers liked it!) but it would only make sense today, especially on a small scale (perhaps manufactured fairly close to the front line?) if there was something conveniently to hand, from which chloropicrin might be made. There are several industrial routes to chloropicrin, but the only one I'd see as feasible in a garden shed involves nitro-methane fuel and a common household chemical that I will refrain from naming here. Military experts often describe chloropicrin as "merely" an incapacitating agent; pest-control experts used to regard it as a pretty reliable way of *killing* rodents etc. I'd side with the pest-control experts on that one! Its virtue is that it does indeed incapacitate even more swiftly than nerve gas, so it was sometimes used at the beginning of a strike to stop soldiers putting their masks and other protective clothing on, to be followed up by a more lethal agent, such as cyanide or phosgene. But in practice anyone who's incapacitated on a battlefield for any length of time probably will die anyway, especially if all his mates are also curled and vomitting uncontrollably, unable to render aid, and victims tend to remain in that state for quite a while after the air has cleared, so the "killing agent" might turn out to be a bayonet or a spade when the enemy occupies the area hit by their strike. Knowing what feedstock is being used to make this stuff could help Ukraine put a stop to its production, especially as anything involving drums of nitro-methane would become self-erasing even if the littlest explosive attack drone pays a visit. See pre-credit sequence of "Goldfinger" for a not too-unrealistic rendition of what might happen should a master-criminal carelessly leave a fifty-gallon drum of nitro-methane in his lair. No British schoolboy worthy of the name from the sixties and seventies was ignorant of the explosive potential of the fuel; it was the potential toxicity that was kept from us!

Status? Buk broken

Can not believe Fireman Sam actually thinks he can put out the fire w a water hose...shows the comitments the Orcs have tom their military program...> THe 2nd munition cookoff,,,no doubt took him off to Orc hell. Big strike, allows Ukrianeian pilots to feel a bit more at ease when flying the F16's this summer.

It is possible that Buk Radar is actually a decoy. It certainly looks like russia is having equipment shortages. Worst case is that they are reserving gear for the new units they forming for the offensive. Best case that they are truly running out.

Yikes Sucho... you are having mush mouth again. I still like your vids, though.

I wonder if the BUK was the one that shot Down MH17 it was based in Kursk.

fireman sam was goated

1st

These small drones have a little payload to destroy radar, launcher ammo is better target due being very fragile, also big explosion serves UA propaganda. But completely agree to target radar rather than fancy exploding rockets...or why not both :D

It looks old footage as the trees are fully out and the fields well grown.

Why is ukraine using white phosphorus???

Yesterdays news as usual

I read that the vehicle struck was a buk reloader , and the vehicle next to it is a launcher.

well that is not a good sign if Ukraine has two targets but can only hit one of them. not good at all.

Never mind the UAV's, where the hell are these F16's everyone was banging on about at the start of the year "F16's by April !!!" i smell B.S

And 2 Iris-T brand new systems blown up by Russians show us?

F16 preparation
