The destruction of the Russian S-400 “Triumph” missile complex in occupied Crimea  is a very important event for the war.

In addition, as Western analysts said, it also sends a signal to countries that use these complexes for their own defense, the Voice of America reports . “Wow. This is a huge (event). If I were from the country that bought the S-400, I would panic. If I were a Russian in Crimea, I would panic. CRIMEA IS UKRAINE,” the ex-military and congressman wrote on social media USA Adam Kinzinger.

A similar opinion was expressed by Luke Coffey, a senior researcher at the American Hudson Institute. “Turkey should think carefully about the usefulness of its S-400 in modern warfare,” he wrote on the social network.

Western mass media also reacted to the events in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Thus, according to Express.co.uk, the explosions in Crimea “humiliate Putin.” 

The destruction of the Russian S-400 system was also noted by other Western media such as , and commentators as an important event.
