Quote: "On the night of 16-17 April, the Ukrainian Defence Forces launched a missile attack and hit designated Russian military targets on the territory of the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea."
Details: The Ministry of Defence reiterated that as a result of the attack, four S-400 launchers, an air defence command post, three radar stations, and a Fundament-M airspace surveillance system of the Russians were destroyed or irrevocably damaged.
At the same time, the Russians are carefully concealing the number of the affected aircraft and personnel.
The General Staff stressed that the strike caused unexpected losses in weapons and military equipment to the Russian forces, so their combat potential has significantly decreased.
