Quote: "The explosion completely destroyed the system (S-400 Triumf – ed.), the missiles loaded in it and the personnel."

Details: The Defence Intelligence explained that given the limited number of such systems in the Russians’ arsenal, this is a painful blow to the Russian air defence system, which will have a serious impact on further events on the peninsula.

Background: Earlier, Petro Andriushchenko, advisor to the Mayor of Mariupol, reported on Telegram that a Bastion anti-ship missile system was damaged in Crimea, and that its radar stations were damaged.
