1. Four S-400 launchers were probably destroyed in the temporarily occupied Crimea on the night of August 2, according to the Krymskyi Viter Telegram channel.

   According to the Telegram channel’s sources, at night in Sevastopol on the heights of Kaya-Bash, a position of the S-400 Triumph air defense system consisting of four launchers based on MAZ-543 and a 92N6 radar was preliminarily hit.

   Krymskyi Viter also reveals photos and a video.

2. I fucking hope so

3. Sounds expensive. 

4. How many of these things do they have left?

5. Isnt a S400 system around 1 billion USD?

6. That’s huge! I hope it’s true

7. It’s too funny that the Russian premier air defense system can’t defend itself which is always the easiest shot and flight profile these missiles are supposed to defend against.

8. LAUNCHERS, NOT SYSTEMS. big difference.

   57 systems, over 450 launchers between them

9. 4 Russian S-400 ~~systems~~ launchers destroyed in Crimea overnight, local media reports.

   Still good news, but launchers are much more replaceable than radars and command units.

10. Damn that’s expensive if true..

11. F-16 connection or unrelated?

12. Clearing the way for the F16
