In a significant development, Ukraine successfully destroyed a Russian Tu-22M3 aircraft on Friday, April 19th.
According to reports, a modified S-200 surface-to-air missile system was used to achieve this feat. The successful interception was made possible thanks to recent modifications to the system.
The S-200 surface-to-air missile system is a crucial component of Ukraine’s air defense.
Originally developed in the USSR, this missile system is known for its ability to target objectives at long distances and high altitudes. In addition to intercepting aircraft, the S-200 system has the capability to take down missiles and drones as well.
