The adaptation would allow for a larger volume of missile attacks, complicating interception efforts by Ukraine's air defense systems.
A military analysis channel reports that Russia is adapting its S-300 and S-400 air defense systems for ground-attack missions, increasing the volume of missile strikes against Ukrainian cities. The repurposing would complicate Ukraine's air defense efforts, as these missiles are designed for high speed and maneuverability. The Zioneer has previously reported on related tactics, including Russia's use of S-400 missiles in a land-to-land mode on July 12. The report's claims remain unverified by independent sources.
