During the attack, at least two, possibly three, S-400 launchers were destroyed, along with a 96L6E “Cheese Board” acquisition radar and a 55K6E Command and Operations Center mounted on a truck.
At least six anti-aircraft missiles fired by the Russian S-400 air defense system were launched after detecting the American MGM-140A ATACMS Block 1 (M39) missiles. However, all the missiles missed their targets. Seconds later, the S-400 launch devices and the central radar system were destroyed.
This week’s incident highlights the vulnerability of Russian air defenses in the face of Ukrainian attacks with high-precision missiles.
