TL;DR Summary

Ukraine is reportedly repurposing the Soviet-era S-200 surface-to-air missile system to strike inside Russia, according to UK intelligence. The 36-foot-long missile system, weighing 7.5 tons, was previously used for air defense but has now been retired and repurposed for ground attacks. There have been increasing reports of A-5 GAMMON missiles, which are part of the S-200 system, striking Russia. The strikes inside Russian territory are seen as strategically significant, putting pressure on Russia to improve its air defenses.
