S-300V1 air defense systems were spotted in the vicinity of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk.

For the first time since the start of the assault on Severodonetsk, and in principle, since the start of a special military operation, the S-300V1 air defense system was spotted in the area of ​​Severodonetsk. These unique S-300V1 anti-aircraft missile systems, according to open sources, are not in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, given the data that appeared earlier in the media, Ukraine still had a number of such air defense systems in service, however, the APU had very few of the latter - according to some reports, only one division.

In the presented photograph, taken in the area of ​​Severodonetsk and Lisichansk, you can see how the 9A83-1 self-propelled launcher-loader of the S-300V1 anti-aircraft missile system moves along one of the routes. The photo was taken by a foreign journalist and at the moment it remains unknown the exact direction in which the movement of this military equipment is being carried out. Nevertheless, the very fact of the appearance here of the S-300V1 air defense system, one of the rarest types of Ukrainian weapons, indicates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing to take control of a significant sector of the airspace.

At the moment, it remains unknown whether the launcher-loader moved as part of the division or whether it was transported independently, for example, to change position.
