Destroyed S-400 near Bryansk (Photo: Exilenova+)
A photo showing a destroyed launcher from an S-400
air defense system that Russian forces used to strike Kyiv was published by the Exilenova+
channel on Sept. 18.
“One of the two S-400 launchers that were hit, which the
Russkies used in surface-to-surface mode just a few days ago to strike Kyiv,
has been successfully demilitarized by Ukraine’s Defense Forces!” the post
said.
Fire Point also published the photo on its page. The company
later said the launcher had
been struck with long-range FP-1 drones. It was located in the settlement of
Poroshino in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast.
On Sept. 17, the General Staff reported that Ukraine’s
Defense Forces had struck two S-400 launchers near Vygonichi in Russia’s
Bryansk Oblast. Ukrainian military officials said Russian forces had launched
ballistic missiles at Kyiv from that area.
On Aug. 5, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s Defense
Forces would destroy ballistic missile launchers on Russian territory to reduce
the number of strikes on Ukraine. The same day, Zelenskyy said deliveries of
air-defense interceptors to Ukraine from international partners had fallen to
one-third of 2025 levels.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
