ATACMS strike: a photo of the destroyed Russian S-400 Triumph air defense system as a result of the attack on Dzhankoy has been released

After the explosions in Dzhankoy (temporarily occupied Crimea), a photo confirmation of the damaged and destroyed air defense equipment of the Russian aggressor country appeared on the Internet. "Cotton" got it in the area of the military airfield of the 39th Helicopter Regiment of the 4th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense (military unit 46453) of the enemy.

The Telegram channel "Dossier of the Spy" reported that (as of 14:30 on Wednesday, April 17) it was aware of the downed S-400 and possibly S-300 of the occupation army of the Russian Federation. A photo of the destroyed S-400 Triumph air defense system began to circulate on social media.

According to the author of an anonymous Telegram channel, two MGM-140 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles struck a Russian military facility in occupied Dzhankoy.

The first hit hit the positions of the S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system. Three launchers and a radar station were destroyed.

The second one hit a military equipment reception and repair center of the 77th Air Defense Missile Brigade (military unit 33742, based in the Krasnodar Territory of the aggressor country). At the time of the strike, two S-300 launchers (of an unspecified modification) were serviced at the center. The strike also caused a secondary detonation of ammunition at the site.

On the morning of April 17, the author of the "Spy Dossier" received information about at least 15 wounded and 22 missing occupants. The information is being clarified.

The Atesh guerrillas posted on their Telegram channel after the successful operation: "You have already seen the photo of the S-400. But that's not all! Soon there will be a report from our agents! Glory to the Ukrainian Defense Forces".

A little later, they confirmed the effectiveness of the strikes. A detonation took place at the point at coordinates 45.7092211, 34.4270056. Previously, guerrillas had recorded the delivery of long boxes to equipped caponiers at this location.

Atesh confirmed the defeat of the new Russian S-400 with an explosion of the launcher and serious damage to other vehicles in the complex. The guerrillas joked that the occupiers believed in their air defense system so much that they placed missile depots right next to the launcher.

A serious defeat was recorded in the area of the command post of the 5th anti-aircraft missile battalion of the 18th anti-aircraft missile regiment of the 31st Air Defense Division of the 4th Army of the Russian VKS Armed Forces.

"For reasons of security of our agents, we will refrain from disclosing additional information. The details have been passed on to the Ukrainian Defense Forces," the patriots said.
