The vaunted system managed to fire only two missiles.

The Russian S-400 air defense system, which Moscow calls “the best in the world”, was unable to cope with the ATACMS missile strikes on the Kursk-Vostochny airfield. The published footage shows the S-400 helplessly firing missiles into the sky, which miss and fly past their target.
Ukrainian GEOINT analysts from the Cyberboroshno project have published video footage confirming the strike on the Kursk-Vostochny airfield and the S-400 air defense system.
The video shows that, in addition to the airfield itself, strikes were also carried out on the S-400 position, which was trying to intercept the ATACMS ballistic missiles. The system managed to fire at least two missiles, but they were unable to prevent the attack. As a result, the S-400 position was hit by two missiles with cluster warheads. Analysts determined the geolocation of the strike on the air defense system.
According to Cyberboroshno, during the attack, at least five ATACMS missiles of the M39 modification with cluster warheads were launched at the airfield and its environs. The attack on Kursk-Vostochny and the S-400 position demonstrates the vulnerability of Russian air defense systems to modern Western ballistic missiles.

“The attack on Kursk-Vostochny and the S-400 position demonstrates the vulnerability of Russian air defense systems to modern Western ballistic missiles.”
Without our chips and other components from the West, the S-400 would be only a huge and expensive fireworks.
Speaking of modern, development for both the ATACMS and S-400 were started in the 1980s, so they are comparable in age.
Don’t be too hard on the orcs, the S400 did intercept the ATACMS, just not quite as intended. It would be interesting to see how it would fare against the ATACMS replacement.
Well, the cockroaches had plenty of time to get prepared for such attacks. Ukraine’s been begging to strike mafia land for a very long time. They probably knew that this day would come sooner or later. Yet, they still failed to stop most ATACMS.
According to Mike, he read that the orcs had been planning this war on Ukraine for 25 years. I think the planning department in mafia land needs reorganising.
What I meant was that the roaches knew that Ukraine might sooner or later get permission to strike mafia land with Western weapons, and should’ve been better prepared for the ATACMS strike.
I know, I was just making a comparison about mafia land’s ineptitude. 😁
