Russia fired North Korean missiles at Ukraine on December 30, January 2 and 4, per South Korea. AdvertisementRussia's use of North Korean missiles in Ukraine will help us figure out how effective they actually are on the battlefield, military analysts said. North Korea has been testing a wide range of ballistic and cruise missiles since 2017, launching 68 missiles in 2022, according to the North Korea Missile Test Tracker maintained by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies. "If Ukraine, for example, proves more successful in shooting down North Korean missiles compared to Russian ones, then we can assume that North Korean technology is not as advanced," he said. Ukraine has already started analyzing what it believes to be debris from a North Korean missile.

Ukraine destroyed a Russian air-defense system worth $1.2 billion, reports said Thursday. The S-400 "Triumf" was taken down using a combination of Neptune missiles and drones, reports said. The advanced S-400 "Triumf" air-defense system was destroyed in a joint operation by Kyiv's security service (SBU) and navy, the BBC and Reuters reported, citing Ukrainian intelligence sources. It wrote that before its attack, Ukraine sent out drones to strike a Russian ship in the Black Sea. The air-defense system fired its rounds to shoot the drones down, thus revealing its location, Rybar reported.

☆ Russia's fearsome S-400 air-defense missiles are getting unexpected missions as Moscow struggles in Ukraine
  + stars: | 2023-05-25 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Russia's S-400 is a highly regarded weapon designed to intercept a variety of aircraft and missiles. But in Ukraine, Moscow has pressed its S-400s into service to intercept US-made HIMARS rockets or, more bizarrely, to bombard Ukrainian cities. Ukraine has used the S-300 — predecessor to the S-400 — and the American-made Patriot to intercept Kalibr cruise missiles and even Kinzhal hypersonic weapons. A more suitable system to destroy HIMARS rockets would be Israel's Iron Dome, which has frequently intercepted small rockets and even mortar shells. An S-400 missile is launched at a military base in southern Russia during an exercise in September 2020.
