Ukrainian Mobile Air Defense Crew Shoots Down Russian Cruise Missile

Interesting footage recorded from inside a Ukrainian mobile air defense vehicle shows the moment a Russian cruise missile was shot down over Ukraine.


The Ukrainian air defense vehicle is most likely a 9K33 Osa, also called the SA-8 Gecko in the West, and is older but capable low-altitude, short-range tactical surface-to-air missile system. The SA-8 often simultaneously fires two radar-guided missiles using two different guidance frequencies, which is intended to complicate its target's electronic countermeasures (jamming). The system can also fire IR-guided (heat seeker) missiles. In either case, it is reported that the missiles have the ability to be optically controlled and command detonated if presented with jamming or flares.
