Iranian-developed Shahed drones are often used by Russia to strike Ukrainian targets.
The video, posted Friday to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine's official X (formerly Twitter) page appears to show several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) crash to the ground after being targeted by what the ministry said was a FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS – an American man-portable air-defense system that operates as an infrared homing surface-to-air missile.
"The primary roles of the [Shahed drones] in Russia's strike campaign have been exhausting stockpiles of Ukrainian air defense interceptors and pathfinding, which is to say they have been used ahead of cruise missile strikes to unmask Ukrainian air defense radars which are turned on to engage them,"
