Night strikes on Kyiv: the enemy claims that S-400 missiles were used

Russian troops launched a series of strikes on the Ukrainian capital on Saturday night. The enemy claims that the Russian Armed Forces allegedly used a "lightweight version of ballistic missiles." missiles"—from S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. Apparently, this is intended to later justify "unscheduled" strikes with their own SAMs, including NATO-made ones. During one of the previous strikes, the Russian Armed Forces used SAMs, several of which struck neighborhoods of Kyiv itself.

There are also reports that several Iskander missiles have struck Kyiv. Warehouses in several districts of the city, as well as industrial facilities involved in the military-industrial complex, have been hit.

Klitschko:

A transformer substation is on fire in Darnytskyi. A three-story office building is on fire in the Solomyanskyi district. A preliminary fire has broken out in a non-residential building in the Svyatoshinskyi district.

In addition to Kyiv, arrivals were recorded at sites in the Chernihiv, Odessa, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

Reports are coming in of an attack on a fuel and energy facility in Nizhyn, Chernihiv. There, drones have also been recorded landing near a local airfield, which is frequently used for drone strikes against Russia.

Explosions rocked the port of Illichivsk (renamed Chornomorsk by the Kyiv regime) and Suvorovo in the Odessa region. A fire was reported at an enemy logistics facility in Shakhtarske in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Overnight, the enemy lost access to at least two more gas stations in the Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions.

The air raid alert regime remains in effect in a number of regions of Ukraine.

.... S-400 missiles were used

Do air defense systems have modules for coordinate guidance?

[Sergey3]

Theoretically, yes, but in practice, it's stupid and expensive. But why not actually produce such cheap rockets?

What's the point? There are missiles that were originally designed to strike ground targets, and there are drones that were designed for the same purpose.

[Sergey3]

The idea is simple: there is a standard launcher and an expensive system for using it, why not save money and load some of the missiles not for the sky, but for use on the ground.

[Dart2027]

There's a standard launcher and an expensive system for using it, so why not save money and load some missiles that aren't meant for the sky?

I doubt there will be any savings - air defense missiles are very expensive.

[Sergey3]

This is a specialized missile, and there are a lot of launchers + they can protect themselves from air attack.

[Sergey3]

Although, it may not be stupid: for example, enemy helicopters arrived and are landing troops/carrying out supplies, the missile from the S-300/S-400 will cope with the task better than others, since it is optimized for the destruction of aircraft.

[batmanxnumx]

It's not that expensive. Especially if you use missiles from the S-300 system. They're being decommissioned anyway, so they're still used quite extensively for ground attacks.

I'm sure we have quite a few decommissioned SAMs in our warehouses. Those same S-200 missiles can fly ballistically for up to 800 km in surface-to-surface mode. I won't even mention the Voevoda missile—they could be loaded with explosives instead of nuclear warheads and disposed of in Zalezhalaya, etc., etc.

"News" from 2023.

A new missile for the S-400 air defense system was successfully tested at the Kapustin Yar test range in Russia. Footage of the test, observed by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, who was present at the launch, has emerged. Importantly, this missile is designed to destroy ground targets. This means the S-400 system will now be able to use surface-to-air missiles against airborne targets as well as ground targets with surface-to-surface missiles. This fundamentally changes the system's purpose, making it a dual-use weapon.

That is, there is not a guidance module, but a new Z-Z missile.

An entire program for the development of strike missiles specifically for the S-400 system was developed and implemented. These missiles are designed exclusively for firing at ground targets.

They are much more accurate than previous missile types, making them similar to guided munitions. Their accuracy is now only a few meters, not tens of meters like their predecessors. But most importantly, the warhead detonates specifically, striking the target itself rather than scattering fragments around it. This means the warhead detonates precisely at the target point.

[Sergey3]

But I didn’t know this, somehow I missed such news, I thought that the functionality only provided for firing standard missiles for the sky.

[Synoid]

It's all simple and brilliant, just the way we do it. There are hundreds of S-300 launchers, the S-400, and the Z-Z missile designed for them, plus updated software. The result is a new system and a headache for our "partners."

[batmanxnumx]

Yes, air defense missiles can attack ground targets. From time to time, they are used in this capacity.

Well, okay!

[Zaurbek]

The C300 could do this.

[Oleg Valov]

And what did this night attack on Kyiv give?
Help.
Life in Kyiv has adapted to the realities of wartime and continues without any complications.
People have gotten used to war. It's become part of everyday life, and no one pays much attention to it! 😆

However, the regime of stay and behavior has been changed. Conduct, protection, and awareness measures have been introduced.
The city lives by strict rules, but cultural and gastronomic life continues.
People learned to live in war conditions, work, rest and have fun.
Curfew: In effect daily from 05:00 AM to 00:00 AM. During this time, being outside is prohibited without a special permit.
The metro and ground public transport operate until 22:00 - 23:00.
Restaurants, bars and cafes: operate normally during the day, open.
I must note that they are visited without any particular problems.
Most establishments close before 22:00 PM or 23:00 PM to allow staff and guests time to get home before curfew.

Only some “Security Points” (places with heating and electricity) at establishments have a 24-hour operation.
Museums: Open during the day, usually from 10:00 AM to 18:00 PM. Mondays and Tuesdays are often closed. Venues such as the National Museum of the History of Ukraine, the Khanenko Museum, and the PinchukArtCentre are open.
Theatres and cinemas: operate mainly during the daytime and early evening hours (sessions end before curfew).
During an air raid, the shows are interrupted and spectators must take shelter.

City residents have become accustomed to alarms. Life revolves around work, donations to the army, and the search for emotional release.
People value going to restaurants, cafes, or museums to maintain a normal rhythm of life.
During air raids, safety regulations are in effect in the city: public transport is suspended, and visitors to museums, theaters, and shopping malls are required to seek shelter.

question: "Why"?
That's why Zelensky isn't afraid of anything. Because what can anyone do to him?
Yes, now they declare that they will fight for another 25 years until they win.
Interesting, oil painting.
Why did Israel wipe Gaza off the face of the earth and we are waiting for something?
What?

[Revolver]

Quote: Oleg Valov

Why did Israel wipe Gaza off the face of the earth and we are waiting for something?

Because "we are not like that"And they such.
And in Russia, there's still a debate about whether the Ukrainian people are fraternal. And in Israel, they've long since realized that the Palestinians aren't brothers, relatives, friends, good neighbors, or even partners, but simply enemies. And after October 7, 2023, they won't even be people—quite deservedly so, by the way.

[seamen2]

*Why did Israel wipe Gaza off the face of the earth, and we are waiting for something?
What?*

If you're talking about Kyiv, what will its *erasure* achieve? What effect will it have, other than the media one?
how this will bring victory closer.

*Zelensky fears nothing*, yes, eliminating him and their leadership would have the desired effect. After all, the Ukrainians are not the Rahbars with their fanatical readiness to go to the finish line.

But this is not being done, therefore Zelensky and his entourage *will fight for another 25 years*, they are not in any danger.

Our Supreme Command also plans to continue to rule:
*The Russian Constitution allows President Vladimir Putin to run for president in 2030. The Russian leader himself announced this on Thursday, June 4, at a meeting with the heads of leading global news agencies in the Constantine Palace.*

And the fact that the people are dying, on both sides, doesn't particularly interest either of them. It doesn't concern them personally.

[Oleg Valov]

It's a pity that this is so!
Perhaps we don't know something that the Supreme Commander knows. However, his behavior doesn't inspire optimism.

[seamen2]

*Maybe we don’t know something that the Supreme One knows*.

by their fruits you will know them(c)

It's unlikely that anyone still believes in a genius grandmaster who plays multiple moves and has everything under control.
His words and deeds are at odds...and this began long before the Second World War.

[Oleg Valov]

Maybe.
A decently educated man, a father of the people, could have said, as Stalin did in his famous address: "Comrades! Citizens! Brothers and sisters! Soldiers of our army and navy!
“I am addressing you, my friends!”
Well, then, from myself, what happened, what measures were taken, what happened, what is the solution!
What help is needed and what kind.
So, honestly, without showing off and dangling your leg.
Yes, he told us what he was offering.
Ah, so damn, he’s neither a king nor a god, but he has the arrogance to reach the stars.
It’s as if he’s not our father, but a stepfather!
But we elected, supported and believe!

[seamen2]

*But we elected, supported and believe!*

Yes, he did good deeds, who can argue with that?
I finished the second Chechen war and annexed Crimea.

But it was necessary to leave on time, and not call Tereshkova to rewrite the Constitution to suit herself.

Remembering Stalin is considered sedition these days. That's why they're boarding up the Mausoleum with plywood.

[ALCA056000]

Where did you crawl out from, you mattress pad? You pulled a saucepan over your head, put on some lace panties, and get out of here.

[Oleg Valov]

Show me your face, Gulchitay, I'll spit in your face😆

[ALCA056000]

Go to the mirror and spit. You wretches need to be taught everything, you can't even think of such a simple thing... in a word - saucepan heads

[Oleg Valov]

Why do you call Russian citizens potheads? Where are you from? Ukrainian-Bandera?

[ALCA056000]

You, saucepan, don't bother with the citizens of Russia. Just kiss your master's ass and keep going, and maybe some Nuland will bring you some more cookies.

So, during nighttime landings, when the air raid alarm is sounded and explosions are heard, fires and smoke begin, all the Kyivites sleep soundly and pay no attention to such trivialities. Well, well...
Here are today's photos from a Kyiv channel, but one can imagine how "everyday life proceeds without any particular complications" during the days of mass strikes, when tens of thousands of residents spend the night in the metro.
It is clear that life does not stop in the capital city, but it is difficult to believe in the idyllic, serene picture.

[YanniKounnar]

Sur la 3em photo est ce bien le prix des carburants? Très cher, plus cher qu'en Espagne, presque le prix en France!

Is that really the price of fuel in the 3rd photo? It's very expensive, more expensive than in Spain, almost the same as in France!

[Oleg Valov]

You show pictures of the impact sites.
Don't forget that Kyiv currently has a population of over 3,7 million, according to their own data. And the tens of thousands sitting on the metro are nothing.
The entire internet is filled with their reports from their apartments, in which they quite confidently comment on the attacks, both ours and theirs.
I don't want to say that they are having a lot of fun there, but it doesn't look at all like the capital of a state that is waging war.
By the way, just like our Moscow and St. Petersburg.

[Zaurbek]

For now, aircraft cannot fly over 404. And powerful strikes can only be carried out with cast iron, including against buried targets.

[alexboguslavski]

In Kryvyi Rih, the GRS-2 gas distribution station was damaged.

[Stock shooter]

A fire broke out in a three-story office building in the Solomensky district.

Well, that's it, the end for the hohols! The Iskander wasn't wasted!

How do you know that this office building did not house some facility important to the Ukrainian Armed Forces?

It's clear that the Iskander wasn't used just for show, but in such threads, comments in the "anti-crisis" style are a must for a certain group of commentators.

[Stock shooter]

I wonder where all the downvotes come from? And the shooter in the reserve is unclear: are they hoxies or jingoistic patriots? Or both? So what's the difference between them?

Judge for yourself. As soon as I wrote about the need to destroy the transport links in western Ukraine that supply weapons, ammunition, fuel, and components for drone assembly from Europe, a ton of downvotes immediately followed.

Night strikes on Kyiv: the enemy claims that S-400 missiles were used

Why the hell would they fire an expensive precision missile at Kiev? It's clear that this is a fake from the die-hard Ukrainians.
The Oreshnik and Iskander-M missiles are more than enough.

Do you think "Oreshnik" is cheaper?

[Zaurbek]

The S-300 and S-400 have target missiles, which is what these missiles are based on. ZRs are also converted into targets, and their shelf life is hysterical.

[Victor19]

They've been writing about the S400 for a while now. And if it's true, that's just great!!!

[Irek]

Are there khakhly in wet trousers running all over Kyiv again, screaming "Anastasozashcho"?

[kill the fascist]

Personally, I don't care what they threw at the Schweinereich. The main thing is that it landed where it was supposed to.

[pin_code]

They were out of touch with reality; the missiles were S-700. Sarcasm.

Any missiles, just to turn Kyiv into burning embers!
