Air defense systems were destroyed: new details of the large-scale strike on Crimea

Three S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, one S-300 system, and several radars were destroyed as a result of a large-scale missile strike on Crimea. 29 occupiers were killed and 35 injured.

This was reported by one of the Russian Telegram channels.

"Another missile strike that the enemy inflicted on Crimea on Thursday evening, May 23, led to serious consequences. Some of the missiles 'penetrated' our air defense system. Unfortunately, the attack was too large-scale. The consequences are serious," the statement said.

It is noted that the losses incurred as a result of the attack are heavy. There were hits in the Simferopol district (in particular, in Hvardiyske), Alushta and near Bakhchisarai.

"Three S-400 air defense systems, one S-300 system and several radars were lost. Also, more than 20 pieces of equipment that were being prepared for deployment to the area of the SVO were damaged or completely lost. There is evidence of the loss of two Su-25 aircraft, but we do not have absolute confirmation of this information, it still needs to be verified. 29 soldiers were killed and more than 35 were wounded as a result of the strike," the post reads.
