Ukraine’s Defence Ministry has claimed that its forces destroyed Russia’s advanced S-350 air defence system. A video released by Ukraine shows a drone strike hitting Russian military vehicles, followed by explosions and smoke. The footage was shared by the Black Forest Brigade, an elite Ukrainian unit. Russia has not responded to the claim. The S-350 system is a modern missile defence system designed to counter air threats. If confirmed, the loss would be a major setback for Russia. It could also raise concerns for India and China, which have purchased similar Russian defence systems.
