Ukraine's Devastating Attack on Russian Air-Defense System in Crimea

TL;DR Summary
In less than a month, the Ukrainian navy has destroyed two of the five S-400 air-defense batteries deployed by Russia in occupied Crimea. The strikes were carried out using the Ukrainian navy's Neptune ground-launched anti-ship cruise missile, which has proven effective against the S-400 system. These successful attacks have weakened Russia's air defenses in Crimea, making it more vulnerable to future strikes. The Ukrainian navy's goal is to clear the way for the Ukrainian air force to target the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.
