After a massive drone attack on Moscow, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) Commander Robert "Madyar" Brovdi revealed details of Russia’s air defense system and stated that it has vulnerabilities, according to his Telegram post.
According to "Madyar," after the attack, Russian authorities are trying to maintain an "information blackout," combining censorship with displays of "normality."
SBS Commander stated that Moscow’s air defence system includes more than 100 launchers of S-300, S-400, and S-500 systems, as well as over 50 Pantsir-S1/S2 anti-aircraft gun-missile systems.
According to him, the combined simultaneous salvo of this system can exceed 700 anti-aircraft guided missiles.
"The greatness of an empire ends where simple mathematics of systemic deep strikes begins," Brovdi wrote.
He also stated Ukraine’s intention to further expand its long-range strike capabilities and thanked SBS units, as well as the Special Operations Forces (SSO), the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) for participating in deep-strike operations.
On the night of May 17, Russia experienced one of the largest-scale drone attacks in recent times, with Moscow and the Moscow region as the main targets.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said today that Ukrainian forces struck the Moscow oil refinery, the Solnechnogorskaya oil depot, and several enterprises involved in microelectronics production for the military.
The SBU further specified that, in addition to the refinery, the Volodarskoye oil pumping station and the Angstrem plant were also hit. The enterprise produces semiconductors for Russia’s military-industrial complex and is under US sanctions.
