Switchblade 600 loitering munition hits a Russian Tor air defense system.
πΊπ¦ The "Tor" anti-aircraft missile complex is usually intended for hunting UAVs.
But on this beautiful day, the roles changed: the hunter became the prey.
One winged unmanned aerial vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine detected the Russian Thor, and another - winged kamikaze "switchblade 600" - destroyed it. With the joint efforts of the Defense Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine, we are destroying the occupier.
Bring us more iron, dear occupiers, because the forces of the 14th separate regiment of the BpAK are always ready!πΊπ¦

I'm assuming the target was the radar instead of the air defense missiles. Probably a good choice as removing the targeting ability negates the value of the missiles.
Tor is a TLAR system - meaning transport, launcher and radar all in one vehicle. Can be networked with other command vehicles and launchers but works as it is.
It's deceiving because you can't spot missiles or launch tubes, but Tor has vertically launching missiles contained in the turret β somewhat unusual in a land vehicle without an erector (Don't!).
