One more Russian MLRS was also destroyed, taking the total lost by Russia’s armed forces to 294.

On Sunday, September 4, it was also reported that Russia is now using outdated S-300 anti-aircraft-guided missiles in Ukraine.

“More than 500 such missiles were launched on the territory of Ukraine, some of which did not reach the target,” it read.
