Russian servicemen spoke about the work of the Tunguska SAM system
On February 13, servicemen of the 110th brigade of the 51st Donetsk Army told Izvestiya about the work of the Tunguska anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems (SAMs) that cover troops in the close rear area.
It is specified that the SAMs destroy large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' (AFU) airplane-type reconnaissance for targeting artillery and kamikaze drones.
The commander of the vehicle with the call sign Boroda noted that it carries two soldered 33-millimeter machine guns with a rate of fire of 5,000 rounds per minute, as well as eight anti-aircraft guided missiles.
"Basically what we see on the screen are just dashes that differ only in saturation, so to speak. Everything that's reflected, everything is transmitted to us on the screens, but you still have to understand what you have showing. <...> You roughly understand the range for yourself and try to find [the target] on this segment, if not, you move to the left or right," he said.
A senior operator of the complex with the call sign Ded drew attention to the fact that when a Ukrainian UAV is hit, the enemy usually does not understand what happened to its aircraft.
"Our 'Tungusochka', it finds all the subtle flaws, and we work it out. <...> We try to be three steps ahead," the military emphasized.
Earlier, on February 9, the Defense Ministry showed footage of the Pantsir-S SAM system hitting an AFU drone in the border area of the Kursk region. It was specified that the complex allows destroying any means of enemy air attack.
The special operation to protect Donbass, the beginning of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
