Mass media: Russian Triumph air defense system destroyed
Baku/14.09.23/Turan: Ukrainian military counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy have reported the execution of a daring special operation near Yevpatoria in the early hours of September 13-14. Ukrainian officials from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have asserted that the operation successfully targeted and destroyed a Russian Triumph air defense system valued at a staggering $1.2 billion.
According to the sources of Crimea.Realities in the SBU , this mission represents a significant achievement in Ukraine's ongoing efforts to counter Russian military capabilities in the region. The Triumph air defense system, known as the S-400, is renowned for its advanced anti-aircraft capabilities, making it a formidable asset within the Russian military arsenal.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) researchers have supplemented these claims with satellite imagery depicting the Russian S-400 Triumph air defense system purportedly located near Yevpatoria in occupied Crimea. These images have sparked intense speculation about the veracity of Ukraine's assertions regarding the system's destruction.
The incident, which unfolded on the morning of September 14, was marked by a series of explosions that reverberated through the occupied city of Yevpatoria in Crimea. The Russian Defense Ministry swiftly responded, confirming an attack by drones on the Crimea and an attempted assault on the Black Sea Fleet's patrol ship, the "Sergey Kotov," using unmanned surface ships (USVs).
The Ukrainian authorities have yet to provide specific details about the nature of the operation, including the methods employed and the individuals responsible. Furthermore, as of the time of publication, the Russian government has not officially confirmed the destruction of the S-400 Triumph air defense system.
