In Britain's intelligence named the losses in air defense that Russia had suffered in a week

The department says that the losses of Russia in air defense will increase the already high load on the rest of the systems and operators. Over the last week, Russia has probably lost at least four installations of anti-aircraft missile systems (SACs) of long range. This was reported in the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom. It is noted that according to information from the Russian media, three SA-21 (C-400) installations were destroyed in the Luhansk region.

Also, Ukrainian sources were reported about additional losses of Russian air defense in Crimea. Intelligence believes that high -tech SACs for Russia is a major component of the military strategy that it favors. "Recent losses emphasize that the Russian integrated air defense system continues to combat modern high -precision shock weapons and is likely to increase the already significant burden on the rest of the systems and operators," the statement said.

Intelligence is also said that as Russia replaces destroyed systems, it will weaken its air defense in other operating areas. In early September, analysts from the American Institute for War Study (ISW) stated that Russian troops have problems with air defense in Crimea. The report of September 14 stated that Ukraine could destroy the C-400 "Triumph" complex of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces under Evpatoria.

After the next missile attacks of the Ukrainian forces, in early October, the guerrillas began to record Russia with Russia's air defense facilities to Sevastopol. It was also reported that the occupiers were forced to disconnect outdated air defense. In the meantime, GUR confirmed that the Russian Federation did not have sufficient air defense and missile defense. Therefore, Russia is forced to throw off air defense products from the Far East.

Another loss of the Russian air defense regiment became known on October 30. According to Russian media, the location of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was attacked near Olenivka. Later, information emerged that in the Olenivka area the invaders had arranged three new positions in the Olenivka area. It was noted that in this way Russia probably wants to build a network of positions for air defense to mislead Ukraine before blows.
