Moscow, Dec 25 The Russian Armed Forces on Monday said that it has successfully delivered high-precision strikes targeting foreign equipment and ammunition provided to Kiev by Washington and its NATO allies, obliterating much-touted sophisticated weaponry, media reports said.

Russian Defense Ministry said that the Russia’s Armed Forces operating in the special military operation zone have destroyed several Norwegian-made NASAMS (National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System) and one French Crotale NG short-range air defense system that the Kiev regime received from its Western patrons.

The ministry said that the NATO-donated weapons systems were stationed at the Starokonstantinov Airfield in the Khmelnitsky region.

Media reports quoting the Russian ministry as saying: "The military carried out a coordinated assault that involved tactical aircraft, missile troops, artillery units, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)."
