Ukraine destroys the air defense shield over Crimea

Today's destruction of the S-400 in Yevpatoriya, Crimea with kamikaze UAVs & Neptune cruise missiles was already the second such successful operation in recent days.

On August 23, Russian S-400 air defence system & 48Ya6-K1 Podlet-K1 low-altitude surveillance radar used with S-400 AD system were destroyed in Olenivka, Crimea.

Podlet-K1 radar provided control of the air situation over the western part of the Black Sea to Russian forces.

The destruction of the S-400 air defense system on August 23 made a kind of "hole" in the air defense of Crimea.

This allowed Ukraine to target Sevastopol with British Storm Shadow cruise missiles fired from Su-24s.

Russian Navy’s Ropucha-class landing ship Minsk & Kilo-class Rostov-on-Don (B-237) submarine are now beyond repair after these strikes.

This is a difficult, methodical, long, but successful operation conducted by Ukrainian forces.

And it'll surely continue with the Russian forces not knowing how to respond to these strikes.
