The Russian military destroyed yet another Soviet-made S-300PS long-range air defense system of Kiev forces, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on June 28.
In a statement, the ministry said that the system, which was deployed near the settlement of Velikodolinskoye in the Odessa region, was targeted with an Iskander missile. Video footage released by the ministry confirms that the strike destroyed Two 5N63S fire control radars of the system, one of which was deployed on a 40V6M semi-mobile mast, as well as a command and control vehicle.
Other Russian news sources reported that as many as 15 air defense officers and specialists of Kiev forces were killed in the missile strike.
Kiev forces had around 100 S-300P, S-300PT, S-300PS and S-300V1 batteries in service prior to the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine more than two years ago. The country received a single S-300PMU battery from Slovakia in the very first few months of the operation.
Most of these S-300 systems have also been already destroyed, damaged or captured by the Russian military. Due to this, Ukraine’s long-range air defense capabilities deteriorated in a very serious way.
It’s worth noting that the Russian military stepped up suppression of enemy air defenses operations in the last few months, damaging or destroying dozens of Ukrainian radar and air defense systems, including ones recently supplied by the West.

what have the syrians or any other arab nation produced that the entire world currently needs or depends on? nothing! chatgpt is not even accessible to those in many arab nations, why did they fail their state? they “hate” al-assad, but when they meet him in person/anyone in his family, they start shaking hands and wanting to speak to them, similar to putin and other “1st world” leaders. humanity, a total embarassment.
good point but dont rely on ai and chatgpt its jews with joysticks essentially. a great way to harvest our data.
arab countries suffer from cousin to cousin marriages and decline of their genepool. the best of them were murdered under the wrong leadership and most of their borders are artificial meaning forever internal turmoil between the different ethnjc groups.
also whenever these countries had a leadership that wanted to bring them to a higher level the jews used everything to destroy them look at iraq egypt syria lebanon . uganda ,the jews killed the best leaders they had.
…there is only one country in these regions whose leader has “really” done something for his people and many many more people on the african continent and in the arab world, this is libya and its undisputed leader muammar abu minyar al-gaddafi!
not the history books, but the history itself will prove him right…
amerikunt inferior to jew
gotta give credit to the soviets.
i find it amazing that such old weapons still work and pose a threat. what chemicals are stable in those rockets for that long?
i guess the same could be said for the f 16 which is coming up to it’s 50th year design wise.
not so stable, you know aa missiles are frequently causing damage in cities, because no proper technical maintenance for decades. factory warranty for safe use of many aa missiles are 10-15 years, then you need to choose some from stock and launch them to prolong terms for 10 more years. all of these s-300 except some batteries from slovakia were produced before 1991, so you can easily calculate how many times they passed guarantee tests and repair.
never been amazed enough to see how many s-300s ukraine had.
will the gnome fodder from pyongyang come handy soon to help the imbeciles?
pyongyang hasn’t allied with the imbeciles in kiev last i heard but in any case you’d better hope you don’t see them on the battlefield because i’ve heard stories firsthand of how the koreans, be they north or south, fight.
you talk like an old bag lady
i wanted you to feel comfortable and in your natural element while making a fool of you. worked like a charm.
oh yeah…well, well your mother wears army boots. ha, that showed you!
thus, the sam missle transporter catched fire from the burning wood? since the rocket didn’t hit anything in the first place – just plain dirt, 20 meters or more beside the antenna post and beside the other vehicles at the edge of the tree line.
pls dont be a clown.
the shrapnel radius of a isknder shoulb be some 100 meters at least.
enough to destroy or seriously damage such sensitive systems
your predicament is hopeless, zelensky, time to throw in the towel. killing children and their parents will only get you into a deeper hole and maybe a noose around your neck. god only knows, you deserve it.
stoltenberg has stated that nato are going to get the nukes out of storage, to deter russia. only problem, nato does not have any, so how is he going to manage that? us has them, but, does biden have the codes. uk have them on lease from the us and will they be allowed to use them. france has them, but, nato. a world banker, politician from a non-nuclear nation, now head of nato and ukraine is not even part of nato.
so, stiltedburger’s trying to play mexican standoff with russia? his nerves will never handle it.
weird man and his replacement is even worse. why do so many ‘kiddie sniffers’ end up leading nato?
as a fully amerikuntized moron even i recognized superior russian has humiliated immoral weak nato
