Ukraine delivered multiple strikes against a Russian air base in Crimea, according to reports and footage circulating on social media.
“Damage to the latest S-400 system has been confirmed, with the launcher being blown up and serious damage done to the other machines of the system,” according to a Ukrainian resistance movement in Crimea, via a Ukrainian media. “The occupiers had so much faith in their latest air defense system that they placed the missile storage points right next to the launcher.”
“I think it was a Storm Shadow or French SCALP missile which took them out,” a senior European official told the. “If you’re not capable to eliminate those cruise missiles, well, you’re screwed. So, the S-400 is not protecting against it, so that’s impressive.” “Open-source images from the NASA-operated VIIRS/Suomi satellite network showed six major fires burning in the vicinity of the airfield, some inside aircraft revetments,”. “The pro-Russia milblogger Voenniy Osvedomitel said that high explosive warheads carried by ATACMS missiles hit ammunition storage sites and aviation fuel reservoirs, but its source claimed ‘it was possible to avoid the most serious damage.
