“On Sunday, April 10, high-precision Kalibr naval missiles destroyed the S-300 air defense system hidden in the hangar on the southern edge of the Dnipro, delivered to the Kiev regime by one of the European countries,” Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenko said on Monday.

According to a representative of the Ministry of Defense, four S-300 discharge devices and 25 members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were destroyed. With reference to the ministry, Izvěstija said that the Ukrainian air defense repair plant in Velika Novosilka had been hit. The guidance radar of the S-300 system near Uspnovka was also to be destroyed.

Chaos in Russian information
However, Reuters reported, referring to the Russian Ministry of Defense, that four S-300 launchers were to be destroyed at the airport near Chuhuiv in the Kharkiv region. But then the destroyed S-300 could not be at the Dnipro.
–
In Zvonecký near the Dnipro, according to the Reuters agency, which appealed to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the headquarters of the nationalist battalion Dnipro, where “foreign mercenaries” allegedly recently arrived, were to be destroyed. Apparently, the Anadolu agency published a video of this attack, and therefore the attack on the S-300 was probably associated with it.
–
It is not clear which Uspunky was to be destroyed, because there are several villages with this name in Ukraine.
–
The confusion with the places was probably due to the fact that all the locations that Russia attacked on Sunday were listed.

Heger: It’s a hoax of Russian propaganda
Last week, Slovakia supplied the S-300 air defense system. Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger denied, referring to the Ukrainian authorities, that this system would be destroyed.
–
Given that the media, referring to the Russian Ministry of Defense, provided contradictory information about the place of the alleged destruction, it is very likely that Heger is right.
