That's been the story of Russian agression so far.
Russian troops have lost one of their most advanced air defense systems, the S-400 'Triumf', after it was hit by a Ukrainian rocket,. The incident came to light not from official Russian agencies but from an obituary printed for a fallen soldier.
On the brink of entering its ninth month, the conflict in Ukraine has seen the loss of human lives in both uniforms. The two sides have disagreed on the exact numbers, but rarely does an obituary also confirm the loss of an advanced piece of military equipment that has not made it to the news, in this case, an advanced air defense system.The S-400 is a long-range, surface-to-air missile developed by Russia.
The S-400 is designed to take down a wide spectrum of aerial threats ranging from stealth aircraft to unmanned aerial vehicles , cruise, as well as ballistic missiles. The S-400 is a mobile launch system that can deploy up to four types of missiles to counter threats that go well beyond visual range .
It has a range of nearly 250 miles while its radar systems are capable of scanning targets in the range of 370 miles and engaging with up to 80 targets at a time.
