The Ukrainian Armed Forces Destroyed An S-400 Air Defense System Position Near Putin's Palace

It was used to launch attacks on Ukraine on August 8.

On the night of August 9, Ukrainian drones struck a position of the S-400 “Triumph” air defense missile system in Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Krai. The system was located near “Putin’s palace” on the Black Sea coast. The strike was reported by the commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdi (call sign “Madyar”) on his Telegram channel, noting that the day before, on August 8, the S-400 had fired six missiles. “The S-400 position in Gelendzhik, on the shore, right next to the catacombs, burned and smoldered for three hours,” wrote “Madyar.”

In addition to the S-400, according to the SBS commander, four other Russian air defense facilities were struck on the night of August 9. These include the “Tor” anti-aircraft missile system near the village of Pudovoy in the Rostov Region, the “Pantsir-S1” anti-aircraft missile and gun system in Yeisk, Krasnodar Krai, the “Podlet-K1” radar station in Golovatovka, Rostov Oblast; and the “Kasta 2E2” radar station in Latonovo, Rostov Oblast. In addition, Brovdi announced the destruction of three vessels belonging to Russia’s “shadow fleet” in the Black Sea—an oil tanker and two dry cargo ships.

This is not the first attack on this area in recent times. On August 3, seven people were killed and at least 40 others were injured when a Ukrainian drone crashed onto a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka (part of the Gelendzhik municipal district). The town is located approximately 22 km from “Putin’s Palace.”

The complex, known as “Putin’s Palace,” is a 17,700-square-meter property on the Black Sea coast, approximately 20 km from Gelendzhik. According to an investigation by Alexei Navalny, the grounds include a restaurant, a helipad, an ice arena, a church, an amphitheater, a guest house, and a gas station, as well as an 80-meter bridge. According to the investigation, the main building houses a swimming pool with an aqua disco, a spa center, saunas and Turkish baths, production facilities, a library, and a music lounge. A no-fly zone has been established over the complex’s territory, and the adjacent approximately 7,000 hectares, as claimed in the investigation, belong to the FSB. According to the FBK’s estimates, the construction of the complex cost at least 100 billion rubles.
