Ukraine says it's destroyed three Russian missile systems in occupied Crimea | DW News 

misile defense system being targetted by missiles 😅

The once famous Russian S-systems failing miserably :) ..especially compared to the long scrutinized Patriot systems. Beautiful irony!

"No missiles were destroyed. Just special military projectiles." Russia

She is one of the best military analyst on DW. She is one on the most concise articulate experts when speaking about the Ukrainian War. I listen to many analyst, she is one of the best. I also have great respect for General Hodges.

Because "one person" is sick, half the world suffers!!

Go Ukraine, go and get Russia out of your country.

It’s crazy how much western freedom is raining in russia.

Ukraine is disarming Russia

We have short changed Ukraine. This war could have ended last year, but our reluctance to provide them with long range missiles and other armaments is to blame.

It would take the F-16s with 2000 pound JDAMs to actually drop a bridge span.

when the bridge comes tumbling down, tumbling down ..

Here come the F16s

Those are extremely valuable military assets, Putin will be not happy...

Russian S300, S400, S500 can defend wide areas. Just not itself

What I love is how a swathe of people where talking about S400s vs Patriots and so on. We now know Russia is utterly and bizarly incompetent and outclassed vs western tech by multiple leagues.

All those countries that purchased the advance S-300 and S-400 should ask for their money back.

Slava Ukraini ❤🇺🇦✌ From Iran

Thanks, DW. What system and how they protect K. Bridge?

Russia is deploying it's Navy to Cuba ? To stay out of the range of Ukraine Drones so far And with a Nuclear Ice Breaker as an Emergency Tug. So Strong So Powerful

Crimea is Ukrainian territory 🇺🇸

SLAVA UKRAINI❤‍🔥

Distressing that such narrow minded persons are in sensitive position of power!

Slava Ukraine ❤️

Ukraine is embarrassing Russia

2:25 This is where DW is loosing me. The debate of targeting a military target by German officers is not the scandal. That Russians could spie on our top generals phone call is the scandal. The even bigger scandal is how DW reports on this issue.

As always, Dr Marina Miron is a wonderful ressource. I am very happy to see how often you invite her. Her colleague Dr Mike Martin is also just as good. ••• If I may venture a point that wasn't addressed openly in this clip: Given how very opaque the Russian regime is, how it's so hard to really figure out what's going on inside Putin's regime with any certainty; given that opacity, I would suggest that the destruction of the Kerch bridge by Ukrainian weapons might have some "unexpectedly deep" consequences for Putin's grasp on power. ••• We shall see!

Does this mean Ukraine is now winning the war ?

Reading the comment section full of "military experts" and "war veterans".......

Impressive to see how many russian trolls react to this video. Another prove that Russia is really affraid of the truth.

Did Russia honor Budapest Memorandum?

Gazprom shares have crashed to an all time low. Russia has lost momentum in Kharkiv in part due to Ukraine being finally free to do what it must and because the soldiers were a mixture of African and Asian mercenaries along with Russian prisoners and none could communicate. The Africans and Asians could speak English but not Russian and the Russians could not speak English. Clearly they were there for one purpose and one purpose only.

They better get those f-16 jets

Good interview

In July of 2023, as I was traveling from Kramatorsk, somewhere along the way, I met a Ukrainian soldier. I asked him when would Ukraine once and for all take out the Kersh Bridge? I explained the short history of the bridge and Ukraine's twice efforts to damage it. I explained how other routes from the eastern part of occupied areas could replace transportation should the Kersh Bridge be taken out "once and for all." I wasn't expecting Ukrainian secrets to be revealed to me. He was just a soldier, returning from battle in the Donbas area to Kyiv. His lips were tights as were others. I didn't get an answer. Ultimately, I explained that the U.S. and other countries hadn't yet provided the necessary weapons to take it out. Likely what would need to happen is for Ukraine to destroy a good chunk of it but then to easily return to prevent repairs of it. The F-16 jets with precision weaponry could heavily damage parts of the bridge and then could continue to monitor its status. The russian air defense systems are being targeted. This is good. In July of 2023, I also spoke to a smart, solidly speaking English upper- ranking Ukrainian soldier of Azov very near the battle zone and one important impression I got from him was the value of taking out behind the battle zone russian weaponry. While I was saying that the 2023 summer counter offense would not be successful because the U.S. had not provided the necessary weaponry to do so, which I wrote about, and that Ukraine should instead save what weapons had been given them as best as they could do in their ability to do so, and to save their men, until the correct time had come for the conducting of the counter offense, which Ukraine currently is doing by target air defense systems in preparation of making the skies safer for F-16 jets, and has been doing for some time, including the destruction of refineries. The continued degrading of artillery, russian SUs, and other weaponry, along with radar and air defenses, helps in this preparation. It also demoralizes the russian soldiers.

Thank you

Putin S300, S400 is a superb air defense, it’s able to intercept ATCMS on the ground 😂

All targets successfully intercepted the missiles.

Good analysis from Maria she has always been truthful and professional

JASSM-er, or Taurus can hit that bridge. Atacms and storm shadow probably can’t (second due to range) at least not permanently

WOOW 😍 نورت حلب-سورياااا والكون كله 🎉

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

S-400 catches missiles when they hit them

Excellent analysis, thanks. 😊👌👌👌❤️❤️

‘Ukraine says’…how about some actual journalism instead? According to western media Ukraine was twking Moscow a year ago and must Be in Vladivostok by now. 🙄

West narrative Ukraine "says " Russia "Claims " 😅😅🤣🤣😂

The interest of 2 people on earth affects million of people in the world.

Its 2 s300 and one s400 and not 2s400 and one s300

Those videos were from winter, you can see the soldiers breath!

Ukraine say..say..say 😂

But WHAT IS HAPPENING on THE BATTLEFIELDS 🔥🔥⁉️⁉️⁉️ UKRAINE STRIKES ARE SEEMING DIVERSIONALLY

On point like usual Marina.Well said! (a little more work on pronouncing 'those')

But are they gaining real estate?

SO Ukraine is still winning !!??

Cannot win without air superiority. Cold fact.

So in other words; how do you destroy the columns if Putin won't leave Ukraine.

Taurus Taurus Taurus

Which missile systems did Ukraine destroy when Russia's only fighting with spades and shovels.......and taking towns?

I'm not really surprised that these systems get destroyed. Static defenses like these are vulnerable to direct strikes against them. That is why these AA systems should have multiple layers of defenses to protect them. Leaving these systems out in the open without any protection just leaves them vulnerable. Every military system has a counter measure, Ukraine has found an effective countermeasure to deal with these systems.

Did they say what other countries were involved? Were US spy satellites and drones involved and the people have clearance to use them? Was the British or French military involved to program the cruise missiles? or if it was ATACMS were any as German general calls them people with American accent involved? Does it matter as long as Russia doesn't retaliate directly at countries involved? And when Russia retaliates will it be called another unprovoked attack??

Also Ukraine said they lost 31000 soldiers yet they seems to be in desperate need of soldiers…

Ukraine could't produce any photo in support of destruction of three air defence system.

Better strategy implemented after new military boss. Yes, not the wasteful Zaluzhny strategy. Syrskiy following in detail of western strategy of air superiority before ground engagement.

So Putin is not immortal And war can't be always ... When Ukraine win this war ... This brigde can use for another peaceful work even for Europe too ... But now bridge must be stopping ...

I remember a scene from "V for Vendetta" where the lead character said about her former colleague, "She blinks a lot when she's saying something she knows isn't true."

Her hair style is very special.

This will encourage more Ukranians to join the army.

Without geolocated video evidence or satellite images it's all wishful thinking

Ukraine said and you are reporting, where is fact checking? This is the level of journalism

So many signs till date., can we get serious as “Captain Sully” says 😅

She is horrible at articulating anything, stop bringing her to the show

She's a military analyst?

This is laughable to say the least. Ukraine is never going to operate with impunity and there is no way Ukranians and their NATO backers will F16 at will.

Tick... tock.. tick... tock .... the alarm is about to sound.

Yeah and my dad is Zeus. If DPA ever taught me anything is that we always need geo location

Poor woman!! She just wake up😮

Ukraine keeps winning in the news but only there ?

if they had destroyed 3 AA systems why didnt they then launch an overwhelming attack?

Again

There many people who mockings Ukraine people,they dont know about Ukraine Human Resource who proper enough. Ukraine is one of most educated country in Europe. Unfortunely their country is most poorest country in Europe. Thats why they wants moving far away from Uni Soviet era mindset. Then most Ukraine People who excepted joint with Nato and Uni Europe,it's would make their country is better.

Dw is not unbiased 😂😂😂

They won't just destroy using Taurus . They will use various means all at once. Be assured of that. This analyst does not know what Ukraine has and simply guesses.

So Russia's air defence systems can't even defend themselves against attacks from the air? Then how the heck are they supposed to defend a huge area from attacks from the air? And if they can't deal with the very few weapons of limited quality that Ukraine has then how the heck would they deal with defending against American and other NATO forces when the United States alone has three of the four most powerful airforces in the world?

All of this for minerals.

Poke the bear.get swiped.

Once a legend said " give me a comedian as a President,I'll give you ww3 " 😂😂

Where's the proof?? This is such nonsense...

Kerch bridge is Ukranian territory. Ukraine needs to clear out the channel

Depulirizing bloodmir putsin...

Even if successful, its all quite useless escalation, only thing it achieves is heightening chances of a full scale war between NATO and Russia. The Russians have shown to posses a remarkable amount of patience, but keep irritating them, and eventually the patience will have been used up. The idea that the west can exhaust Russia's hardware and thus win the war is not a serious argument. China, unlike most citizens in NATO, is fully aware how the USA engineered this conflict, and off the plans of the US to break Russia into servile small pieces, and with China being the bigger enemy of the US, they will expect the same treatment after NATO is done with Russia. So China will never ever allow Russia to be beaten. They know that if that were to happen they will be targeted next. Till now Russia has been doing just fine against the western alliance. But if military shortages do come into play, that will be the day China starts it's intervention. And US policy has made it so that China will literally have no other choice. But any serious person who has studied China's tech, Supply chains, Manufacturing capacity even a little bit knows full well that NATO is in a fight they cannot possibly even hope win. Export to the west would stop in case of war, and within two months the west won't be producing any more cars, electronics, airplanes, missiles or tanks. That is the reality, so why keep escalating? What's the point? The complete economic collapse of EU and US? This escalation is just nonsensical self-destructive stupidity.

I like Marina. Ta very much DW. Slava Ukraini!!!!

Ukraine always claimed but never provide substantial proofs.😂

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤😊 !

You mean HOW. The 'why' is obvious. English.

Many comments here are so nonsensical that it has me wondering why those contributers even bother.

Ukraine says😂😂 very reliable source

did you get the europeans message?????

Stop fighting

No videos, it did not happen. Thats how we have to look at every claim now..
