Russian servicemen from the BARS-11 volunteer unit and the Tsar's Wolves captured an almost intact British Storm Shadow cruise missile from the line of contact and handed it over to specialists for examination, said Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Tsar's Wolves military and technical center.
"I'm glad it was our unit that did it. Now our air defense will shoot this thing down, and it will gradually become useless," Rogozin stressed.
According to him, the missile was almost undamaged.
"The missile was dismantled into several parts by our technicians right on the battlefield, the high-explosive and shaped-charge parts separately, and the control unit separately, while the wing was folded up for easy transportation," Rogozin clarified."A functioning GPS tracker was there, which could have directed the strike team to the opponent. Even though we blocked it, our fighters had to relocate all the time and even engaged in battle — the enemy's sabotage and recon unit tried to catch the car with the rocket and an accompanying vehicle on the road."
It took two days to evacuate the captured missile, but now it will benefit the Russian Armed Forces.
