The Black Sea Fleet's headquarters was attacked by at least two Storm Shadow missiles launched by Ukrainian fighter jets at noon on September 22, causing serious damage to the majestic and solid headquarters building.
During the attack on the 22nd, the Russians said that the air defense system intercepted 5 missiles, but the headquarters structure was still hit. Since August and September, the Ukrainian army has also repeatedly destroyed the S-400s in Crimea.
According to Russian propaganda, Russia’s S-400 air defense system deployed in Crimea is powerful and can attack air, land and sea targets, with a range against air targets of up to 248 miles. But judging from the Ukrainian battlefield and its performance in Syria for many years, the true strength of the S-400 is definitely questionable.
In October 2022, news came out for the first time that the S-400 was blown up by the Ukrainian M142 HIMARS rockets, and in June 2023, video footage of the S-400 being destroyed by the HIMARS rockets was circulated. Thus the S-400 fell from its high pedestal, and everyone began to doubt how strong it really was. Even slow-flying rockets cannot be targeted and intercepted?
