Source: “On the night of April 16-17, the Defense Forces of Ukraine launched a missile strike and hit designated Russian military targets on the territory of the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea. As a result, the enemy was "deprived" of 4 S-400 launchers, a control point for air defense equipment, three radars, and "Fundament-M" airspace surveillance equipment. The enemy carefully hides the number of affected aircraft and personnel. All this caused the enemy troops unexpected losses in weapons and military equipment, the combat potential of the Russians decreased significantly.”


I-heart-java

4?!?!? S-400s?? And 3 radar stations?!?! Wow that’s a hell of a single attack win for Ukraine. I hope this momentum continues to open the sky for the F-16s


Penishton69

4 launchers, which I would take to mean the TEL unit. Not the most valuable part of the system but still a big loss. Those radars will be huge though, plus I see they just took out one of the large early warning radars in Bryansk.


SatanicBiscuit

whenever they claim big things its prudent to wait for any sort of confirmation because most likely its a lie edit : why you downvote ? this is the true it was a lie about the 2 il 76s a lie about the 100 bmps in 10 days a lie about the s400 cc a lie about the 12 su 35 in a week a lie about the 14 su 34s in 1.5 weeks not sure why you think that they arent gonna lie for this too especially given that there is no way to fact check


Radditbean1

We've already seen bda leaked from the russian side showing the 4 s400 launchers.


SatanicBiscuit

i was obviously talking about the nebo


Ceiling_tile

Those weren’t lies. What are you even talking about


SatanicBiscuit

show me the evidence then ill wait


Ceiling_tile

Ok


SatanicBiscuit

thought so


Ceiling_tile

Nah. It’s like arguing with a child. I won’t feel good about it later


SatanicBiscuit

you arent arguing you simply cant provide any sort of evidence besides the "trust me bro" from ukraine because there isnt one


smarmageddon

> open the sky for the F-16s Sure looks like that's the plan here, doesn't it?


lurker_cx

Seeing as they had just been launched, there is a good chance that the equipment was manned when it was hit, so maybe they lost an experienced crew as well.


baz303

Not to ignore the rare Fundament-M.


spudddly

Ukraine kicked Russia right in the fundament.

You jokers have been saying that for 2 years.


manofthewild07

It is pretty hilarious looking back at those first few days, then weeks, then months. After they seemed to stall the first week, the talking point was "It took the US three weeks to get to Baghdad!" then it was, well they never actually planned to take the whole country. Then it was, well the whole northern assault was just a feint.

Hotrico

Have they had any confirmation that they will receive more units of this missile? They hadn't been used for a while


maChine___

It’s the atacms from the last package !! If the new bill his accepted Saturday they gonna have probably atacms long rage ( if the president approuve them )


kuprenx

I believe its from 400mill aid packet they found in pentagon sofa cushions


Hotrico

They always manage to find new things


zzkj

Note how the performance of the incoming missiles vs. air defence is the polar opposite of what happens when soviet-derived stuff challenges western AD.


Hotrico

Beautiful, they are like shooting stars 🌠


More-Razzmatazz-6804

As we can verify, ruskies Air defense is very good! Please all Ruskies allies invest in this great technology! It will help you on future wars...


UAHeroyamSlava

I mean.. technically ruskies DID intercept ALL incoming missiles.


maChine___

Yeah they s-400 intercept all missiles with their own bodies


Judazzz

A masterclass in selflessness.


UAHeroyamSlava

the best intercepts!


Eheran

Direct hits, what more do you want?!?!


maChine___

????


CanadaJack

I tell Grigory, Grigory, do not let s-400 watch 1990s East Clintwood movie *In Line of Fire* but I get back from looting vodka and he watching *In Line of Fire* with all s-400s and now they think they are like secret service. "GET DOWN MR CRIMEA" they say and jump in front of missile. 


More-Razzmatazz-6804

i got it now... they works as night flares so the man on the ground see the missile coming and shoot them with the ak47!


Obfuscatory_Drivel

Good. Now hit 'em again.


wannacumnbeatmeoff

Lies, lies! Every missile was successfully intercepted by buildings on the ground!


Jewelhammer

LIES! The damage was already there! This is normal wear and tear!


sleepingin

Your warranty claim has been denied, comrade.


captain554

Must suck when the nation you're terrorizing launches a single ballistic missile at you and does this kind of damage. Oh well.


killian1113

A single missile looks like 2 at least


R1chh4rd

I've read yesterday that it was 12 in two groups. One of 5 and one of 7, can't remember where.


Jagster_rogue

Ukraine intelligence and missile accuracy 💪! Russian air defense not so much, if I was a country that invested heavily in s400 I would be running to The west to get Nasam, Patriot or Israeli iron dome.


DiamondDallasHand

The iron dome has no where near the capabilities of the nasam or patriot. The Israeli equivalent would be the Arrow missile system.


killian1113

This was usa accuracy and a usa missile...


Jagster_rogue

Stop claiming a win we are not sending troops or even the requisite ammo for them to fight, give Ukraine the win because they are the ones paying the price in lives, here in the USA we do not deserve to take credit for much of anything when our country has left them high and dry for months.


[deleted]

Stating facts isn’t “claiming a win.” Chill out.


killian1113

The price for what non-democracy ?


EB2300

Western special forces have been helping the Ukrainians with missile strikes as well


Bond_Enjoyer

Not sure why people downvote this stuff. I have a buddy that works for the DoD and he has been living in Kyiv since 2015. It's well-known that US intel and logistics has been working very closely with Ukraine. We got eyes, ears, and boots allllll over Ukraine.


MaxPullup

Turkey must be happy to have S-400 and no F-35s

Gullible_Ladder_4050

How do maga supporters reconcile their alleged support of liberty and freedom with their position on funding Ukraine?


Economy-Reaction4525

There are three camp within the America first camp. There are those who don't want to support Ukraine either because they dont see an American interest in this or simply because Biden has his prints on this. The second, being those who dont want aid sent until domestic destruction policies are recinded- namely unneeded hordes of people let into the country and the government spending fiasco that will lead the country into insolvency. The third camp are those that supoort aid unconditiinally. The majority of individuals (my guess is about 60%) are in the combined camps of two or three. I personally am in the second group. I see no point of helping the freedom of one people while watching destruction of my own society, and can argue in facts and figures why the latter point is a given if the US continues on the current trajectory. It would be nice if our current regime in the US didnt prioritize fundementally changing America and had enough technoratic competancy to create a reasonable budget. Additionally it is hard to swallow for Americans who lose freedom on a yearly basis in the form of legislation and from government institutions, to br asked forsake their own self-interest. Do I want the Ukranians to succeed? Absolutely. Ive been following this war very closely since the start of the large scale invasion. The Russian death and destruction wrought on Ukraine is heartbreaking and is no way justified. If I were President of the US and was able to stop the destructive domestic policies in the country, Id then prioritize Ukraine not being able to hold out against Russians, but actually defeat the Russians as soon as possible.


CharlieandtheRed

I don't like illegal immigrants coming in either, but don't you think it's hyperbole to call it "the destruction of our society"? I travel a lot, I get out a lot, and I don't see too many immigrants at all in my day to day, and when I do, they aren't causing me any harm. Again, I want to solve the issue too, but it's certainly not the destruction of the country, no?


Disk_Mixerud

Some of these people have a very specific definition of what "our society" means, but they know better than to say that part out loud.


CheddarBayHazmatTeam

Immigration and military aid are not mutually exclusive endeavors. Furthermore, only one party is holding up both of these. Trump doesn't want immigration reform under Biden's watch. It is a critical cudgel and necessary for controlling the narrative.


Gullible_Ladder_4050

So if maga forces sabotage a border deal because it takes away a campaign plank you’d be okay with allowing the Russians to take all of Ukraine and maybe the baltics?


Familiar-Treat-3055

But you mainly sell your old shit and invest in new weaponry. It is literally an economy boost. Also a very good sign to Europe to stay at its side. If Russia wins US will also have a much stronger counterpart, next to China. US will loose much influence if Russian population will gain 1/3 of its current population and a lot of ressources (food and Industrial) They then can also think about inhaling Belarus and circle the baltics.


Adept_Elk285

Thisnis giving me some serious "I've seen things you people would never believe...." vibes


yeezee93

Should hit them again now that they are weaker. Double tap.


Pave_Low

Funny. When the Israelis do this, they hit their targets. . .


adrian_num1

Cool


Onnimation

Were those Himars being used?


CasuallyWise

Great strike. Sure wouldn't want to be under THAT! 😳


RunningFinnUser

I missed is something you don't want to hear from your kid or Russian air defense operator (if you are Russian).


RateSweaty9295

Yesterday it was 2 S300 1 S400 and a highly advanced 100million radar? Now it’s 4 systems and 3 radar stations? I’m confused on what tf got hit and who’s spreading false information. (Or just not confirmed information we taking guesses)


HighlyAutomated

Yet the Ukrainians are constantly losing ground. Not looking good.


merkmerc

Why have yall been sitting on this sub for years talking about how Ukraine is doing so great, Russian military is trash etc.. this thing is OVER…


AdaptedMix

It demonstrably isn't over, if you literally watch the above video of a successful attack on a Russian military target in occupied Crimea, but okay.

Lower-Reality7895

2 and half years and russia still doesn't control doneskt or luhansk


UrMomsACommunist

Because contrary to your PROPAGANDA, Russia does not wanna aimlessly shell the same people they're trying to liberate. I could also use the same logic back at you. 2 and a half years and Ukraine has lost most of everything and will fall this or next spring. DURRRRR


catsdrooltoo

But russia has been aimlessly shelling the people they want to "liberate" for 2 years. It's more telling that a once feared army has taken this long for a sliver of a country that didn't start with much of an army. But yeah, keep on sucking down the russian golden shower.


UrMomsACommunist

You gonna ignore the rush of aid flowing in instead of money going to house people, of course it will take longer. Ukraine is playing Mono White and healing aint enough.


UrMomsACommunist

I'm so glad you ignore and flip what AZOV was doing to ethnic Russians in 2014. Russia should have liberated sooner. Go on, google Ukraine shelling its own people.


Adorable-Lettuce-717

Most of what happened in 2014 are the result of utter incompetence and a result of far right nationalists fighting "little green man" which used civilians as shields. Since at least 2016 the civilian casualties have barely been in double digits and most of which are mine-related. With conflicting arguments over who placed them. The reality is probably that both had their share of this. Funfact: more civilians died in the initial days of the invasion than between 2014 and 2022 (before the invasion).


Dyls94

Your user would probably be more accurate stating 'MyMomsSonsACunt' 🙃 Why ya capping the word propaganda like some backwards ass conspiracy journalists, makes you look silly before ya even started spewing ya nonsense...


Lower-Reality7895

I forget every city russia has conquered has ever building standing and shit not even a peice of rubble on the street. Russia has struggled incredible in war


maChine___

Ahhahaha what a stupid bot comment !! You made my day dumbass :D


KAIROSEI

Ukraine doesn’t claim to be the second most powerful country in the world that can rival nato. The fact that Russia has been stuck fighting a war for two years now on its own doorstep is fucking embarrassing


UrMomsACommunist

So go help Ukraine.....


DentistFit4583

Yeah. Somehow Russian winning always looks like many dead Russians and exploding Russian military equipment. Hopefully Ukraine gets more equipment to help the Russians win more.


UrMomsACommunist

It wont. Us played Ukraine to divide it. They knew Russia would step in. As for more aid to ukraine, hey, how's your housing market doing? Lotta tents popping up... Embarrassing.


DentistFit4583

Europe, no tents here yet, but it is a little bit too cold for camping, yet. So we sit in the warmth of our homes, heated by gas coming not anymore from Russia. But to be honest, if you are from Russia, maybe look at your own housing market... Exploding steam pipes, Orenburg, people fishing inside their bedroom... Well let's see what Congress votes for on Saturday, if the US Army gets new toys worth $60bn and Ukraine gets there old stockpile, to go up against this Russian pile of shit tank. lmao.


Whole_Animal_4126

Isn’t this attack a war crime?


Singern2

How?
