Russia “Downs” US-Made ATACMS Fired By Ukraine | Fire Breaks Out Near Air Defence Unit In Simferopol

Russia claimed to have shot down six US-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) launched by Ukraine on April 30. Officials in Russian-annexed Crimea said some of the missiles were downed over the Black Sea peninsula.
The US admitted last week that it secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine for use against Russian forces. The weapons, which reached Ukraine this month, were part of a $300m aid package approved by US President Joe Biden in March.
Whether to send the ATACMS missiles with a range up to 300 km was a subject of debate within the Biden administration for months.

NO. CRUX your info is wrong. Russia downs ATACMS!

1 Atacms was fired, and 1 Russian 400 air defense was destroyed.

Chissano's invention is a testament to human ingenuity.

That ball was not from an ATACM. THEY HAVE FINS TO INCREASE FLIGHT DISTANCE. Good try though. I don’t think a single missile was downed

[ak]

I guess the Russian response will be with a FAB9000, something they have not yet used. The largest they have used thus far, is a FAB1500.

[michaelmanningly]

Yeah, and the Moskva is still afloat & wreaking havoc on every city & town in Ukraine !

[hyhhy]

6 ATACMS missiles alone cost like 10 million dollars.

[Ryan-msfk]

How many could they possibly of even gotten when they cost 1.5 million each and we only produce 500 a year and multiple nato countries get them every year

[Ghost]

I almost crack myself laughing upon seeing that "ball" hahaha. It look like its been there for atleast a decade.

[robertsilva-zfcm]

WHENEVER SUCH HAPPENINGS TAKE PLACE, I KNOW THAT IN A DAY OR TWO THERE WILL BE A SERIOUS RECIPROCATION, SO, WE HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE...

[willhall]

So attacks come from fleet in Black sea? 300kms range is quite long, plenty of time to film properly. Lots of dollars flying through the air. Pity video was from Archive.

[aaronsantiago]

Where is the solid evidence that you destroyed or shot down of ATACMS?

[adamhammond]

Ukrainian Comedian wins war against Russia only in his Dreams 😆

[AndreMazi-duck]

That ball looks like Putin ball covered in cement 😅

[sweetlove]

When Russia strikes a target, we quickly get video evidence. But when ukriane makes claims, there are no evidence and Crux keeps reporting it 😅

[jacksplatt]

The ball shown at 2:13 is not a part of an ATACMS missile. ATACMS submunitions are green in color and have ribs on it. A simple google search will show what a real ATACMS submunition looks like. I don't think they shot down anything if that grey ball is all that they are showing.

[sidecar]

Hadn’t they already destroyed all the launchers?

[watcher]

The longer range strikes have more response time detection and point of protection online .pantsirs like

[thorpedersen]

Putins sollution - 10k bonus for each hit on an ATACMS... i wouldnt want to be anywhere near operating those things, their life expectancy is pretty short.
