Ukraine’s Security Service and Navy Destroy Air Defense System Worth $1.2 Billion

14 SEPTEMBER 2023

The military counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Navy of Ukraine conducted a unique special operation near Yevpatoria on the night of 13-14 September, destroying a Russian Triumf air defence system, worth US$1.2 billion. 

Source: UP’s source in the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU)

Details: The UP source says that drones and Neptun missiles attacked the target.

First, SSU drones hit the “eyes” of the system – its radars and antennas. After disabling the radar stations, Navy units hit the S300/400 Triumf launch systems, using two Neptune cruise missiles.

Background: As SSU head Vasyl Maliuk has said on numerous occasions, explosions are now besetting and will continue to beset the Russians.

Background:

  • Explosions rang out in occupied Yevpatoria in Crimea on the morning of 14 September, with the Russian Defence Ministry reporting a drone attack on Crimea and an attempt to attack the Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Sergei Kotov by uncrewed surface vessels (USV).

  1. WOW! One point two billion dollars turned into smoldering junk! Another awesome strike by the AFU. Those Ukrainian Neptune missiles are proving their effectiveness in a powerful way.
    Perhaps this hit is to pave the way for another “bavovna” elsewhere. This seems to be their modus operandi; first, destroy air defense system/s and then go after another, more valuable target. But, in this case, can there be something more valuable than demolishing over a billion dollars worth of stuff?
    Hmm… there does seem to be a large bridge along the way…

      • I doubt it. But, maybe they will use something else to do the job, like the S-200s. I hope to see something in this regard very soon.

  2. That’s the second S400 in a week or so. It’s not doing a very good job considering the orcs claim it has no superiors.
