Ukraine destroys the air defense shield over Crimea

Today's destruction of the S-400 in Yevpatoriya, Crimea with kamikaze UAVs & Neptune cruise missiles was already the second such successful operation in recent days.

On August 23, Russian S-400 air defence system & 48Ya6-K1 Podlet-K1 low-altitude surveillance radar used with S-400 AD system were destroyed in Olenivka, Crimea.

Podlet-K1 radar provided control of the air situation over the western part of the Black Sea to Russian forces.

The destruction of the S-400 air defense system on August 23 made a kind of "hole" in the air defense of Crimea.

This allowed Ukraine to target Sevastopol with British Storm Shadow cruise missiles fired from Su-24s.

Russian Navy’s Ropucha-class landing ship Minsk & Kilo-class Rostov-on-Don (B-237) submarine are now beyond repair after these strikes.

This is a difficult, methodical, long, but successful operation conducted by Ukrainian forces.

And it'll surely continue with the Russian forces not knowing how to respond to these strikes.

Can we stop trying to make this about the USA(and USA bad) please? Let's focus on what's important here.

Did you even understand what I said? This is not US bashing post. US was used in this example as comparaison. So I compared the Russian vs Americans . Why I choose US, you would ask. It is because US citizens are very patriotic compared to a lot of other nations. So stop being offended whenever someone points US weakness out. That doesn’t mean we hate the US. Matter of fact I love that country.
