He claimed that the Russian army, their ammunition and fuel depots were vulnerable to the attack of this American rocket.

Ukrainian portal claims to destroy S-400 from HIMARS
Ukrainian portal Censor.NET claimed that the Russian S-400 could not intercept the HIMARS rocket in Donbass, Zaporizhzhya or Kherson. This portal claims that HIMARS rockets destroyed the S-400 missile system during an attack on a Russian military base in Khartsijk, Donetsk. However, it could not be confirmed whether Russia has deployed its S-400 in Ukraine. Russia’s S-400 has an operational missile range of up to 400 km, while it can track targets up to a range of 600 km. In such a situation, if Russia wants, it can protect against Ukrainian air attack from its own area with the radar of S-400.
