The driver of the Russian “Pantsir” system filmed his vehicle being attacked by Ukrainian drones

The driver of the Pantsir-S system documented the moment his vehicle was subjected to what he believed were attacks carried out by Ukrainian commercial FPV drones.

The price of the FPV drone is about 5-600 USD while the Pantsir-S system costs about 14 million USD.

Video of what I believe is a FPV drone attacking a Russian Pantsir-S air defense system.

The price for a FPV drone is around 5-600 USD while the Pantsir-S cost around 14 million USD.

Watch until the end.
