Ukraine used drones and missiles to take down an advanced Russian air-defence system worth US$1.2 billion early on Thursday, according to multiple reports.

The advanced S-400 “Triumf” air-defence system was destroyed in a joint operation by Kyiv’s security service (SBU) and navy, the BBC and Reuters reported, citing Ukrainian intelligence sources.

The attack off the coast of Yevpatoriya was orchestrated through the use of aerial drones and Neptune domestic missiles, per Anton Gerashchenko, a Ukrainian official writing on Telegram.

Yevpatoriya is a coastal city in the west of occupied Crimea, which Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014.

    I also remember being taught this way. It’s why you have people that say “in this essay I am going to tell you”, which is, of course, bad.

      Yeah it’s not exactly a highlight of academia.

      I took a technical writing course in college, and it delivered the best lesson of any English course I’ve been in:

      Assigned your standard 3 page essay with little instruction. Do it, hand it in. Get a grade and the paper back. Next assignment: write that same essay, but this time in 1 page. And again, but this time in a single paragraph, using bullet points to summarize the main ideas.

      “…and that’s how you write a work email. Remove ALL the fluff. If it takes longer than 30 seconds to read, it’s probably not going to be read.”
