Resourceful Ukrainian engineers modified an obsolete S-200 air defense missile to be used in a ground attack role and conducted a cross-border strike inside Russia.

Russian security footage captured one of the S-200 strikes hitting a reported sawmill in the vicinity of Bytosh in Russia's Bryansk Oblast.
