    This is a big win. S-400 are difficult to replace strategic assets. Hopefully this opens up future holes in Russian air defense as they scramble to replace the missing pieces.

      They hit 2 radars. The most expensive part of the system. Makes the rest of the launchers in the system unusable until the radars are repaired or replaced.

      Pretty much every one of these that goes down will do that. The only question is, is the hole anywhere near the front, or is Russia opening their rear to an attack of opportunity from another country.
