(LUHANSK REGION, UKRAINE) – Ukraine has released video footage showing recent attacks by FP-2 strike drones against Russian military targets in eastern Ukraine, including air defence systems and a fuel transport train believed to be supporting Russian military operations.
The video was published by the Maguar drone unit, which reported that its operators alone have struck 19 Russian air defence systems during March. The footage highlights several of the latest attacks carried out across different locations in eastern Ukraine.
The first strike shows a Russian S-300V surface to air missile launcher moving across an open field while folded in transport configuration. The launcher is hit directly by an FP-2 drone. The crew abandons the vehicle and a second drone conducts a follow up strike. A third drone filming from above later shows the launcher burning, indicating the system was destroyed.
The video then shows another strike against a Tor short range air defence system deployed in an open field. The radar on the system is visible rotating when the first drone strikes the side of the vehicle. A second drone quickly follows with another impact. Footage shows the Tor system completely destroyed after the strikes.
Another segment shows a long range drone strike on a Russian fuel train. Several fuel tank wagons catch fire after the impact. The damaged fuel wagons are abandoned while the locomotive departs the scene. Observers say the locomotive may not have been targeted because crews operating the train may include Ukrainians forced to work under Russian occupation.
Still images following the strike confirm that at least three fuel tank wagons were destroyed in the attack. The burning fuel tanks are visible in footage taken shortly after the strike.
Further video segments show drone attacks on warehouses reportedly used by Russian drone operators as well as strikes on bunkers and other military positions. Overhead footage shows fires burning at these locations, although the exact damage at those sites cannot be independently confirmed.
Mapping of the strikes suggests they occurred at separate locations across eastern Ukraine. According to the footage, the S-300V system was destroyed in a field at one site, while the Tor M2 short range air defence system was hit at another location some distance away. The fuel train was struck while travelling north, more than 100 kilometres from the front line.
The Magyar drone unit operates across wide areas of eastern Ukraine and has conducted attacks on Russian military equipment and logistics targets throughout the region.
Military analysts note that Tor systems typically provide short range air defence with engagement ranges of up to 16 kilometres depending on the variant. Such systems are usually deployed close to front line positions to protect high value assets.
The Tor system seen in the footage appears to have been operating far behind the front line. Its position suggests it may have been protecting an important site in the area.
The location is close to the port city of Berdiansk, where Ukrainian strikes have previously targeted ammunition storage sites and Russian command facilities. Analysts say the presence of a Tor system there suggests it may have been providing air defence for port infrastructure or other military installations.
The S-300V system destroyed in the footage is a medium range surface to air missile platform with a maximum engagement range of around 75 kilometres. The system was originally designed primarily to intercept ballistic missiles.
However, since mid 2025 Russian forces have increasingly used S-300V systems in a mid range air defence role normally performed by Buk systems. Analysts say this shift appears to follow heavy losses of Buk launchers in Ukrainian strikes.
Experts note that the S-300V system is not optimised to intercept small drones or cruise missiles, as it was designed primarily for ballistic missile defence.
The strike on the fuel train appears to have taken place more than 100 kilometres from the front line while the train was travelling north towards Luhansk. The train was likely transporting fuel supplies for Russian forces.
Observers say the destruction of fuel transport wagons can disrupt Russian logistics, particularly in areas where rail transport remains the primary method of moving fuel and supplies to military units.
The video concludes with additional drone footage showing fires at warehouse structures and bunker positions reportedly used by Russian forces in the Luhansk region, although the precise locations of those sites were not identified.
The footage was released as part of a wider Ukrainian effort to highlight ongoing drone operations targeting Russian military equipment, logistics and air defence systems across occupied areas of eastern Ukraine.
FP-2 drones target a Russian fuel train in Luhansk, destroying three fuel tanks. An S-300V and a Tor SAM are also hit.
