According to information from Kiev, several Russian S300 and S400 missile defense systems were destroyed in the Moscow-annexed Crimean peninsula on Thursday.

Two cruise missiles from Neptune could then have destroyed the now ‘blind’ ‘Triumf’ S300 and S400 missile defense systems. The damage to Russia is reported to be 1.2 billion dollars (approximately 1.1 billion euros).
Moscow has not yet confirmed that the missile defense systems have been shot down. The Russian side only said that eleven drones were intercepted.
