In the occupied Crimea there has been an explosion that has destroyed the Russian anti-aircraft defense system S-400 Triumf. This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
this is what we know
The agency said the blast destroyed the launcher along with missiles and personnel. The attack once morest the S-400 Triumf was carried out on August 23, 2023 at around 09:00 (CET). What is interesting is that the surface-to-air missile system was unable to deal with the drone, which managed to capture the explosion on video.
The export value of the S-400 Triumf division, consisting of four vehicles, exceeds $1 billion. The surface-to-air missile system can shoot down aircraft, helicopters, drones and missiles at a distance of up to 400 km. The range at high altitude is 35 kilometers. The radar station, which is part of the complex, has a range of 600 kilometers.
The Russian Federation has sold the S-400 to three countries. India, Türkiye and China are the operators of the air defense system. It should be noted that Turkey paid $2.5 billion for the S-400 Triumf, following which it was excluded from the F-35 Lightning II fifth-generation fighter program. India spent almost $5.5 billion on the purchase of five regimental systems. Deliveries will end next year. China has invested more than 3,000 million dollars in the purchase of the S-400.
