(KYIV) – Ukrainian drone units destroyed several Russian military targets overnight on 8 March including a modern radar station and a Buk M2 air defence launcher, according to the Ukrainian unit known as the Birds of Magyar.
The strike was carried out by pilots from the 9th Battalion Kairos of the 414th Separate Brigade of unmanned aerial systems, widely known as the Birds of Magyar.
According to the unit, the operation targeted several high value Russian military assets located in Russian occupied territories.
Among the targets destroyed was the radar station known as Nadgrobok, designated 64N6. The system is a highly mobile three coordinate radar used for wide area air surveillance.
Ukrainian military sources say the radar functions as a key detection system for the Russian S 300PM and S 400 air defence systems deployed in occupied Crimea.
The drone pilots also struck a Buk M2 surface to air missile system. The equipment destroyed was identified as a launcher loader vehicle designated 9A316.
According to the report, the Buk system was located in Russian occupied territory of the Donetsk region.
Another target was a temporary deployment site belonging to the Rubikon centre in the occupied Donetsk region. The strike on that location was carried out jointly by the 414th Brigade drone pilots and operators from the First Separate Centre of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces.
The targets were engaged using Ukrainian produced middle strike FP 2 unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with warheads weighing between 60 and 100 kilograms.
Coordination of the operation was carried out by the newly created Deep Strike Coordination Centre of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces.
Operational statistics and battlefield results are published on the online platform known as Pidrakhuyka operated by the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces.
The strikes form part of ongoing Ukrainian operations aimed at weakening Russian military capabilities in occupied territories.
The Birds of Magyar unit released the information on 9 March 2026.
