This might be the first time we see this unit ∂єѕтяσуed on footage

The Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported another effective strike on russian position in the northwestern Kharkiv region. Coordinated with the artillery units strike led to the elimination of a russian “Shilka” anti-aircraft self-propelled gun.

In the following video, we can see the air defense system detected despite an attempt to hide in a forest line – once again Ukrainian drone operators demonstrate their skill in detecting such camouflaged equipment.

Previously, there were reports of these vehicles being captured or ∂єѕтяσуed by the Ukrainian forces, but this is seemingly the first footage of this system in Ukraine. According to “Military Balance-2022” there are currently only 60 units of ZSU-23-4 in the russian army, used by the naval infantry.

Up to date, Ukrainian forces have ∂єѕтяσуed 145 anti-aircraft ωαяƒαяє systems of various types in total. This includes also “Tunguska” guns, rare “Ovod” control systems, Pantsir-S complexes and S-300 missile systems etc.
