The satellite photo confirms the destruction of the Russian S-400 Triumph air defense system near occupied Yevpatoriya.
On Sept. 14, SBU military counterintelligence and the Navy launched a combined strike against a Russian air defense base near Yevpatoriya thanks to intelligence furnished by Ukrainian partisans.
First, SBU drones hit the radar stations associated with the complex after which the Navy struck the S300/400 Triumf launchers with two Ukrainian-made Neptune cruise missiles.
On the morning of 14 September 2023, explosions were heard in occupied Yevpatoriia, and the Russian Ministry of Defence reported there had been a drone attack on Crimea and an attempted attack by naval drones on the Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Sergei Kotov.
