The Ukrainian military successfully used American long-range ATACMS missiles to destroy enemy targets in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Thus, the Ukrainian military managed to destroy the Russian anti-aircraft missile systems.
This was stated by the US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby.

That the Ukrainian Armed Forces were destroyed using ATACMS
According to Kirby, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have once again demonstrated that, with Western support, they can contain the Russian army.
Kirby emphasized that the success of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is not limited only to the front.
– Ukraine used US-provided ATACMS long-range strike missiles in Crimea, destroying Russian anti-aircraft missile systems, command posts, and airfields, a US National Security Council spokesman said.
He also added that earlier the Ukrainian military sank a ship in the Sevastopol port with cruise missiles. Thanks to this, the Russian Black Sea Fleet was forced to leave Crimea.
The Pentagon allowed the Ukrainian Armed Forces to fire ATACMS missiles
It was previously reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces will be able to use long-range ATACMS missiles to attack Russian deployment sites and bases in temporarily occupied Crimea.
U.S. national security officials say the long-range missiles can reach deep into Russian-occupied territories and hit enemy supply centers.
We add that the Russian Black Sea Fleet was forced to relocate almost all of its combat-ready ships from the temporarily occupied Crimea to other places, and its main naval center becomes ineffective due to attacks by Ukrainian troops.
The commander of the Ukrainian Navy explained that attacks by Ukrainian missiles and naval drones caused significant damage to the Russian base in Sevastopol.
