Ukrainian drone operators from the 413th Regiment have destroyed a launcher from russian S-400 air defense system in russia's Bryansk region. The strike took place during the night of July 6, coinciding with another large-scale russian missile and drone attack against Ukraine.
According to the unit, the destroyed launcher had been used not only in its intended air defense role but also to launch missiles against ground targets inside Ukraine. Ukrainian forces said the system was eliminated while deployed at a firing position, preventing it from carrying out additional attacks.

Bryansk region has become one of the key areas from which russian forces launch ballistic missiles toward Kyiv, making it a priority target for Ukrainian long-range precision strikes. Neutralizing launch platforms in these areas is intended to reduce the immediate threat to Ukrainian cities.
Video released by the 413th Regiment shows reconnaissance drones locating the S-400 launcher before strike drones engage and destroy the target.
As Defense Express previously reported, the airstrike reportedly destroyed drone command posts, communications infrastructure, and a training site where russia's elite Rubikon Center was preparing new UAV crews.
