Ukraine published a video on Wednesday showing the moment it destroyed a Russian S-400.
The S-400 is formidable air-defense system that has drawn comparisons to the US Patriot battery.
Kyiv's military intelligence said in a statement that the attack dealt a "painful blow" to Russia.
Russia's advanced S-400 Triumf is a mobile, surface-to-air system that's capable of shooting down targets at high altitudes and long ranges.
According to open-source intelligence site Oryx, Moscow's military had lost just three S-400 launchers and one command post for the system.
