Russia’s S-400 and Pantsir systems defeated by US Tomahawk cruise missiles: Russians in panic

According to the report, Russia’s air defense systems have already faced US-made Tomahawk cruise missiles—and failed to intercept them effectively, according to Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council.The head of the center, Andrii Kovalenko, made the statement in a post on his official Telegram channel, following US President Donald Trump’s recent announcement that NATO would provide Tomahawk missiles to support Ukraine’s defense.Kovalenko recalled that Russian and Syrian forces previously encountered Tomahawks during US strikes on military facilities in Syria in 2017 and 2018. He noted that Russian and Syrian reports at the time claimed “massive interceptions” of the missiles, but independent analyses found that most of the launched weapons reached their intended targets.According to Kovalenko, the Tomahawk’s effectiveness stems from its low flight altitude and complex navigation system, which makes detection and interception extremely difficult.Successful defense against such missiles requires a dense network of low-altitude radar systems, rapid data transmission, and highly coordinated air defense responses—conditions Russia and Syria failed to achieve.

How could Russia defeat the USA? They might only have a wishful thinking.

The information regarding the difficulty of intercepting Tomahawk missiles is quite revealing and highlights the current limitations of Russian defense systems. Although Russia invests heavily in its air defense system, it appears to be less effective against high-precision, technologically advanced weapons like the Tomahawk. Experience in Syria and now in Ukraine demonstrates that these missiles do reach their targets, despite interception efforts. Personally, I believe this underscores the need for Russia to modernize and strengthen its defense systems if it truly wants to protect its territory and military interests. Advanced technology like that of the Tomahawk calls into question the effectiveness of traditional defenses and forces a rethinking of military strategies. Furthermore, the fact that the United States can continue to deploy these missiles and that Ukraine can use them represents a shift in the dynamics of the conflict and a significant advantage for the forces that possess them.
