Chaotic roadside footage captures Russian air defense troops firing man-portable MANPADS directly from a highway shoulder to intercept incoming Ukrainian strike drones. Operating amid passing civilian traffic, teams deploy infrared-guided Verba or Igla-S missiles as massive smoke plumes rise from the nearby Kapotnya Oil Refinery. This emergency visual engagement underscores the severe strain on Moscow's layered defenses during the historic June 18, 2026 drone saturation raid.
Expert Insight:
Deploying man-portable systems from un-cordoned public highways confirms that the outer tactical SAM networks were completely saturated, forcing an ad-hoc, high-risk visual interception process directly adjacent to civilian infrastructure.
