However, throughout the conflict in\u00a0Ukraine, Russian forces have learned to\u00a0detect these missiles, lock onto them, and destroy them in\u00a0flight.<\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0noted that systems such as\u00a0the S-400 have proven effective against U.S. tactical missiles\u00a0\u2014 a\u00a0development he\u00a0described as\u00a0\u00abvery bad publicity\u00bb for the American defense industry.<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0the same time, Khodarenok said the successful interception of\u00a0U.S.-made missiles serves as\u00a0excellent publicity for Russia\u2019s own defense sector. He\u00a0recalled that at\u00a0recent international arms exhibitions, foreign buyers have shown strong interest specifically in\u00a0Russian air-defense systems.<\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0added that the S-400 has not only met its stated performance specifications but significantly exceeded them\u00a0\u2014 a\u00a0claim he\u00a0said was not empty praise, but an\u00a0accurate reflection of\u00a0its real capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/voennoedelo.com\/en\/posts\/id5095-russian-s-400-downs-all-atacms-missiles-analyst-says\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ATACMS FAIL ON CAMERA: Russia Destroys US Launchers In \u201cEye For Eye\u201d Strike<\/strong><\/h1>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Times Now World \u2013 Nov 19, 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xhMDSI9nyiQ?si=O-BG1M5U2sKipnr6\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xhMDSI9nyiQ\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moscow has seen a surge in interest among overseas buyers in its weapons systems, following a spate of successful interceptions by Russia\u2019s air defenses.
