The Armed Forces launched a missile strike with ATACMS ballistic missiles against the Russian S-400 Triumf SAM system in the Donetsk region.

The Dosye Shpiona Telegram channel released the video footage.

On May 22, at about 12:50 p.m., Ukrainian forces launched a missile attack on a Russian S-400 system position near Mospino airfield, Donetsk region.

According to the source, the strike on the deployed system was executed using 5 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles.

It is reported that as a result of the strike:

• two S-300/400 launchers were destroyed;
• one S-300/400 launcher was damaged;
• 96L6E radar was destroyed;
• the control post of the S-300/400 was destroyed.

The released photos and videos allow to reliably identify at least one launcher, probably a 30Ts6E logistical support system and one 96L6E radar, as destroyed. The latter was destroyed for the first time during the war.

If the radar and command post are destroyed, the actual neutralization of the entire anti-aircraft battery is impossible because the operation is impossible without them.

The system itself was deployed (here) near the Mospino airfield, about 50 km from the front line.

The airfield itself had a relatively short dirt strip. Presumably, it could have been used by the Russian invaders as an airfield for attack helicopters.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian forces also hit another S-400 air defense system covering the Belbek air base in the temporarily occupied Crimea with ATACMS ballistic missiles.

As a result of the strike, the destruction of a truck on the BAZ-69092 chassis and a 92N2E multifunctional radar was reliably confirmed.
