In November 2023 Yaroslav Oliynyk, advisor to the Minister of Strategic Industries, shared a video featuring an almost identical incident. On that occasion a Ukrspecsystems Shark UAV spotted the Tor SAM around 13 kilometers (8 miles) from Robotyne before calling in the Switchblade 600 strike. Oliynyk said that incident took place against the background of what he termed "a robust enemy electronic warfare (EW) system." He said the EW failed to adversely affect either the reconnaissance drone or the Switchblade but may have inhibited the operation of the SAM that tried but failed to target the Shark. The Switchblade 600 struck and incapacitated the Tor system, which was then unable to move forcing the crew to abandon it.
