Russian S-400 system destroyed in Crimea

On August 23, 2023, around 10:00 AM, near the village of Olenivka on the Tarkhankut Peninsula in the temporarily occupied Crimea, an explosion occurred that destroyed the Russian anti-aircraft missile system of large and medium-range S-400 Triumph, reported from Ukrainian media.

As a result of the explosion, the installation itself, the missiles mounted on it, and personnel were completely destroyed.

Considering the limited number of such complexes in Russia's arsenal, this constitutes a significant blow to its air defense system, which will have a profound impact on further developments in the occupied Crimea.
