Read previewUkraine's latest claimed strike on Crimea is likely another example of how its older, Western-supplied missiles can foil even Russia's most advanced air-defense systems. Rybar, an influential Russian military blogger, said on Monday that Ukraine had attacked Crimea with at least 12 ATACMS missiles. AdvertisementThe S-400 is Russia's most advanced air defense system. Ukraine said none of its missiles were downed in the attack, while mocking Russia's descriptions of its own air defenses. "None of our missiles fired were intercepted by the enemy's 'highly effective' air defense," Ukraine's General Staff said.
