Previously on June 4, drone attacks on Crimea were also thwarted by Russian air defenses that successfully shot down five Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) overnight, as electronic systems jammed four others.

As Ukraine intensifies its counteroffensive on Russia, air defense systems have taken even greater prominence recently as Moscow looks to frustrate Kiev's forces.

On June 13, Russian Industry Minister Denis Manturov announced that for the first time ever, the Russian air defense complex S-350 Vityaz successfully destroyed a real air target during the war in Ukraine.

In a statement Manturov noted that "just recently, [Russian metallurgy and heavy machine-building] Obukhov Plant has announced that the S-350 Vityaz anti-aircraft missile system, hit a target in the area of the special operation [in Ukraine] in automatic mode for the first time in the world, using artificial intelligence without the participation of the human."

Russian air defense systems are presently the only systems in the world capable of neutralizing hypersonic missiles, the minister said before he reaffirmed that once again, they are exclusive to the Russian armed forces.
