Russian S-400 Triumf: The Culprit Behind Storm Shadow’s Missile Failure

The Russian air defense system has once again successfully intercepted the UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile in Ukraine. Fresh photos circulating online depict the fragment of this missile falling in an undisclosed location within the Zaporizhia region.

Given its low flight profile and the incorporation of radar-absorbing materials in its design, intercepting this type of ammunition is indeed not an easy task. However, the growing number of online images featuring downed Storm Shadow implies that Moscow has been progressively adjusting their tactics to counter such attacks. According to reports released by Moscow officials, Russian forces have intercepted and destroyed no less than 29 Storm Shadow missiles since May 2023.

The primary system Russia uses to neutralize these missiles is said to be the S-400 anti-aircraft weapon system. In today’s episode, we will delve deeper into this system. But first, let’s briefly recall the Storm Shadow’s feature that was once hailed as having the capacity to annihilate Russia.

    S-400 has a huge warhead payload, my guess is if a huge S-400 interceptor hits a small target like the StormShadow, the later should be totaly disintegretatred .
  • @MrZlocktar
    These missiles are not intercepted by S-400 but with their help, which mean that radars of S-400 are used, but not their missiles. Pantsir S1 is what intercepting Storm Shadow by missiles while using S-400s radars. Same systems that were able to intercept large barrages of GMLRS-30 with 12 missiles (2 armed M142 vehicles firing at once). There are multiple video evidences of this process. Easy to find as well.

    Ahhh I love the smell of propaganda in the morning
  • @Beatles4Sale.
    Thank you for an honest assessment that takes some bravery to print. This war can’t be reported on that everything Ukraine does is successful and Russia always fails. While there is no excuse imho for the Russian invasion, I do believe we deserve honest reporting of what’s actually happening in this war.

    Russia's electronic warfare is proving to be very formidable.
  • @warmachine676
    Russia is running out of ammo, Russia is losing, Russia is crawling on ground, Russian soldiers are fighting with shovels etc etc🥱
  • @kroolis77
    What’s the source of 29 SS shot down?
  • @christof_7
    Where did you get your numbers for downed storm shadows? 29!? Seems way too high
  • @cobbler40
    The cost of using these missiles is huge. The costs of the small special military operation must be huge !
  • One VS. 40 plus. I must say Ruski not only fighting real enemy but also 40 plus countries at the same time and they have truly impressive arsenals of weaponry that outclass the collective West
  • @lolcatjunior
    The S-400 did not intercept the storm shadow. Its suppose to knock out fighters and large air vehicles over long distances.
  • @rwhunt99
    There is no doubt, the S-400 is a fantastic weapon and highly accurate, that said, like the patriot, it is very expensive, and those targets are fun to go after because you remove one and there goes a lot of money up in smoke. In he arms race, once someone has an effective weapon, the other side goes to work to defeat it. It goes on and on.
  • @jberry1982
    Yeah right they ain't shot down no 29 storm shadows lol
  • @vladispassov
    I kept watching until I heard "Russian officials"... :D
  • @s.e.7874
    I really wonder what happened to the on system on krim that blew up recently. Hope that it was some kind of technical malfunction, otherwise pretty much every S-400 system and crew would be vulerable. That would be a bummer...
