The crew of the Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) on the line of combat contact eliminated an enemy unmanned aerial vehicle. As soon as the aerial object entered the area of responsibility of the unit, it was taken for escort, and then destroyed by an accurate missile launch.

In December 2020, the Kalashnikov arms concern launched serial production of a new high-precision anti-aircraft guided missile (SAM) for the Strela-10M air defense system.

It is included in the list of particularly demanded models of weapons and military equipment and is designed to engage low-flying targets in conditions of various types of interference, as well as cruise missiles and UAVs.

The SAM homing head has several operating modes. Kalashnikov claimed that the ammunition operates on the "fire-and-forget" principle and performs excellently in combat conditions.

The Strela-10 air defense system was developed in 1970 at the Moscow JSC "KBtochmash named after A. E. Nudelman." The system participated in a number of conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan. The Russian army also has other short- and medium-range air defense systems, including the Pantsir-S1 and Tor.
