Ukrainian Drone Destroys $1.2 Billion Russian S-400 System in Seconds

New footage shows a Ukrainian strike drone reaching a parked S-400 launcher and its radar in occupied Crimea. The attack, which took place in seconds, destroyed one of Russia's most advanced and expensive air-defense systems. The S-400 Triumf is designed to detect and shoot down aircraft, drones, and missiles. Each system costs over $1 billion. The video, verified by analysts, shows the drone hitting the launcher and radar unit, triggering a massive explosion. This is the latest blow to Russia's air-defense network in Crimea, a region Moscow annexed in 2014. Ukrainian forces have increasingly used drones to target high-value military assets deep behind enemy lines. The strike highlights vulnerabilities in even the most sophisticated defenses against low-cost, precision drones.
