Russia's S-400 misiles were meant to be able to knock down HIMARS missiles. They completely failed.
This could totally change things, a bit like when it turned out Russian tanks were not able to survive shoulder-mounted rocket launchers. Suddenly the losses mounted.
So the Russian army is now extremely vulnerable. And not just its canon-fodder on the front line. Its command centres will be targetted.
Russian corruption strikes again. Someone making S-400s wanted a yacht.
'Disassembling has begun in the Russian Defence Ministry due to the fact that the S-400…cannot properly protect airspace and is not even able to protect itself [from HIMARS attacks],' said the report.
'The technical characteristics of the flagship air defence system were overestimated many times, and the money allocated for the development of the S-400 was successfully stolen.
'The deception surfaced recently, when the S-400s failed to shoot down a single HIMARS missile either in the Donbas or in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
'Not only that - during an attack on a military base in Ilovaisk, HIMARS missiles destroyed the S-400 complex, which was supposed to protect the area from air strikes.'
