Russia claims its advanced S-400 air defence systems are intercepting NATO-supplied missiles over Ukraine, including American Patriot and restored Soviet S-200 systems. Defence sources allege nearly two dozen Western-made missiles have been shot down while targeting Russian Su-34 and Su-35 fighters. Moscow highlights that the S-400’s Mach 14 interceptors far surpass the speed of Patriot missiles, projecting a powerful image of technological superiority. The reports, if accurate, mark a dramatic escalation in the ongoing shadow war between NATO weaponry and Russian defences.#Russia #UkraineWar #S400 #PatriotMissile #NATO #MilitaryConflict #BreakingNews #WarUpdate #AirDefense #Geopolitics
