  Says the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry, which then immediately refused to allow the UN access to verify the claim.

    The account in question has a history of being… deeply credulous of Russian claims.

    Thank you for reminding me about these posts, time has proved my statements true. Especially after the Iran war exposed these outdated systems via direct hits on US bases, which can't be narrative'd away like in Ukraine.

    The S-400 is fairing well? F-35s apparently walked all over Iran's air defense network without much challenge.

    Interception rates have been extremely high. The problem, of course, is the ammo shortage and drone cost asymmetry. Which has been widely documented, and presents an issue for the S-400s too.

    Iran didn’t field S-400s and those nor Patriots are for shooting down drones.
