ATACMS inflicted one of the most significant hits on the Russian military in its 27-month war on Ukraine when it was used to strike Belbek Air Base in Crimea on May 15.
Belbek, which is pretty close to Sevastopol, hosts several types of Russian Air Force aircraft and is protected by the S-400 air defense system.
This is a very big win for Ukraine.
Viewers may note that Russia took over Crimea In 2014 and has been using the Belbek Air Base for operations against Ukraine.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how ATACMS managed to land one of the biggest single-day losses on Russia ?
