| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Russian servicemen from the BARS-11 volunteer detachment and the command of the Tsarist Wolves unit took possession of an almost complete British Storm Shadow cruise missile. This was announced in his Telegram channel by the head of the Military-Technical Center "Tsar's Wolves" Dmitry Rogozin. According to him, the rocket was only partially destroyed, it successfully fell flat. Technical specialists divided it into several parts directly in combat conditions and folded it for ease of transportation. Rogozin added that high-level electronics were used in the rocket, which was able to withstand overloads during a fall. It took two days to evacuate the trophy. A GPS beacon was installed on the rocket, which could guide the enemy capture group, said the head of the Tsarskie Wolves military-technical center. The fighters were able to block it, but they practically did not manage to sleep, they had to move all the time. They even had to fight when the enemy DRG tried to intercept vehicles with a missile and escorts on the road, Rogozin said. The missile was handed over to specialized specialists for study, this will allow the Russian military-industrial complex to develop the most effective ways to deal with Storm Shadow. Rogozin noted that he was pleased with the operation, now the Russian air defense system will gradually make this missile useless. As IA Regnum reported , the United States admitted that the Russian army, thanks to electronic warfare systems, is effectively jamming Western "smart" bombs used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Russia's anti-GPS efforts are part of a massive electronic warfare campaign that also disrupts Ukrainian forces' radio communications and drones, Business Insider writes. On June 28, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Russian Armed Forces shot down three Storm Shadow cruise missiles and six HIMARS MLRS shells. Russian air defense systems worked on Ukrainian missiles and drones near Experienced in the DPR, Karmazinovka, Privolye, Ploschanka and Oborotnovka in the LPR, as well as near the villages of Balochki and Peremozhnoye in the Zaporozhye region. |

| #7 ...I'm wondering if - were we to go back and total up all the shot down claims for StormShadows and HIMARS - the total would actually exceed the number delivered.--Mike Probably by '8-10 to 1', no, the latest ratio has to be by '17 to 1'. |

| #3 "Seized" vs "picked up off the ground". Prolly one of those lost in translation things. |

| #2 Lots of Russian military facilities have indeed 'captured' a Storm Shadow or two. |

| #1 Riiiiiiight Russian Armed Forces shot down three Storm Shadow cruise missiles and six HIMARS MLRS shells One storm shadow missile either was intercepted or just went "GUUUUAH" and failed. Hard to tell from the debris. No HIMARS have been intercepted. Jammed, yes. That actually has been a problem. But stop stroking your interception cock as it is still flaccid as cooked spaghetti. Getting embarrassing at this point. |
