Fortunately Russia is playing Risk like a child, attacking at every opportunity with little accumulation of strength and no planning.

A rare Russian Arctic TOR-M2DT air defense system was destroyed for the first time in the platform's service history by Ukrainian artillery, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

So, best not leave your toys outside. They blew up some other hardware real good as well, not going back for the sources.
So sad.
