Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SSO) struck a key Russian S-400 air defense system in occupied Crimea, destroying its radar with attack drones overnight, the Ukrainian military confirmed on September 30.

The SSO said the strike targeted the radar component of the advanced S-400 “Triumf” system, a vital element that provides surveillance and guidance functions. Without it, the entire system is rendered ineffective.
