Although the Russian “Gecko” system is one of the most common tactical point defense systems in Eastern Europe and in those countries belonging to the Russian’s “commercial partners”, the video of this engagement represents an extraordinary rarity as it reveals some of internal systems of the Gecko at work during a combat mission.

Some unofficial information reports that the drone targeted by the SA-8 was shot down over Artsakh on April 21, 2020 and the remains of the drone were reported the next day, on April 22.
