Ukrainian forces modified a 9K33 Osa surface-to-air system to fire R-73 (AA-11 Archer) short-range air-to-air missiles.
The project, funded by

, is the first time a charity has modernized a SAM system like this.
"The aviation missile has some advantages, because it works on the "fire it and forget it" principle, it does not need to be accompanied like a regular Osa missile. Immediately after firing the R-73, you can move from your position so as not to receive a retaliatory strike,"
