How long does it take to confirm the loss of military equipment? The loss of this entire Russian S-400 division remained completely unknown for three and a half years! On the night of July 4, 2022, one of the first HIMARS strikes on a Russian military base in Snizhne, Donetsk region, took place. During that strike, the entire Russian S-400 air defense system was destroyed. The loss of which was confirmed only now and only because a couple of Russian decided to record a low-quality propaganda video trying to pass off the destroyed S-400 as Ukrainian MLRS. Russian video makes it possible to identify only six S-400 launchers. But according to satellite imagery there might have been up to ten launchers.
