Why S-400 couldn’t defend itself from ATACMS fired from HIMARS ?

Ukrainian military forces have successfully hit Dzhankoi Air Base which is located in the northern part of Russian-occupied Crimea

Ukraine's military intelligence said the strike damaged four S-400 air defense launchers, three radars including 92N6E Grave Stone Multimode Engagement Radar, an air defense command-and-control center, and other surveillance equipment.

ATES guerrilla movement said in a statement, that the occupiers believed in their newest air defense system so much that they placed warehouses with missiles directly near the launcher
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kyiv was behind the strike and thanked his top military commander, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, for organizing the operation.

S-400, like most other Russian weapons systems seem to be very much over-rated.

Russia said they shoot down ATACMS even before the delivery to Ukraine 😂😂😂

[Thetequilashooter]

Is anyone surprised? Russia’s boasted about its military equipment for decades as being the world’s best. Ukraine has quickly shown that’s not the case. There’s not one piece of Russian equipment that’s lived up to all the hype.

Russia defense missiles have shot down more of Russias own jets than anyone else's.

[JCMills]

When you do nothing but punish personal initiative and innovation you get crap tech.

[verdebusterAP]

Simple
The S-400 isnt all its cracked up to be

[unoriginalname]

russia: "S400 is best missile system in world! Nothing can defeat it!"
US tech from the 80's: "hold my beer"

[leedex]

Let’s face it. S-400 can only shoot down planes and not missiles…

[ifeanyiokoye]

If the S 400 has all the stated capabilities, how come a few ATACMS were able to penetrate undetected and destroy them.

[shitguy]

Turkey must be mad the most. They gave up on the F35 for this.

[hardy]

From "we can intercept anything in 400 kms range" to "brochures lie, we can't even hit and detect anything in 400 meters" 😂😂😅😅

[brianphillips]

It probably actually is pretty good but that doesn’t make it invulnerable. And Russia has a bad habit of not maintaining its equipment adequately and manning their systems with poorly trained operators.

[SoloSailing]

I wonder if the video game designers will design their next games to reflect the real abilities of russian weapons.

[vvanderer]

T urkey got s400s and was not allowed to buy f35 from US as a result

[PaulLe-jkuq]

This system should be changed name to S-400 DEFEAT !😂
The HIMARS BE CHANGED TO HIMARS TRIUMPH!!!😆🤩

[patriot]

There goes the sales of s400! Money wasted! 😂😂😂

[willpaddack]

How embarrassing. Russia can't stop taking Ls

[myvoiceafrica]

In real war no weapon is invincible. Its always a matter of time before oponents find a solution.

[legion]

The ATACMS missile flys a strange trajectory with abrupt changes in direction, altitude and speed .

[jacksonteller]

Like usual the Russian system doesn't work. It can detect where the Russian producers state track and the missile range is the maximum range where they can only hit civilian targets. The 400 km range has a NEZ that is about 250 km for modern fighters. And a Hail Mary mode where they launch at a intermittent signal by stealth aircraft and hope to detect it from the top using the intercept missile.
