First photos of damage from Dzhankoy: missile destroys S-400 air defense system that was protecting it from missile attack
The strike on the Dzhankoy air base in the occupied Crimea achieved its goal and once again proved that the S-400 does not have the declared ability to shoot down ballistic targets
At the air base in occupied Dzhankoy, the strike destroyed the S-400 air defense system that was protecting it from a missile attack. This is evidenced by an unconfirmed photo taken at the scene. There is also preliminary information that the strike killed about 30 and wounded 80 racists.
It should be noted that satellite images of the airfield taken in March did indeed show the deployment of the S-300 or S-400 system. The use of this complex to cover not only the airbase from which attack helicopters and assault aircraft take off, but also an important railroad junction, is absolutely logical.
But if the information about the destruction of the S-400 is confirmed, it will prove its helplessness against ballistic missiles. And this is the possibility of the Russian Federation actively declaring.
It should be noted that S-400s have already been destroyed in the occupied Crimea before, most recently near Olenivka on Cape Tarkhankut and in the area between the villages of Molochne, Uyutne and Zaozerne. At the time, it was reported that a combined attack from kamikaze drones and cruise missiles, including the Neptune adapted for this task, was used to destroy these SAMs.
Then the helplessness of the S-400 in the fight against such targets was directly proven. And not only in the case of a combined attack, as questions have arisen about the ability of this Russian SAM to detect small targets in general. Because the moment the S-400 was hit was filmed by a reconnaissance drone.
However, in the case of the S-400 strike, we are talking about ATACMS ballistic missiles, at least the Rashists themselves complained that they were used. And this means proving that the S-400, despite all the declarations, cannot intercept even quite old ballistic missiles from tactical missile systems. At the same time, we are not talking about the need to even overload the channel of the Russian SAM, because, as the Rashists themselves say, there were only two ATACMS missiles.
