So Ukrainians apparently managed to destroy the command and control, crew, and radars for those two S-400s they hit out of 5 stationed in Crimea. These are the most expensive parts of the $1B+ AA systems and can take years to build even when Russia is not sanctioned.
Can't wait for the remaining 3 systems to get destroyed. Even if they don't, there are enough gaps now in Crimea air defense that no Russian naval ship is safe. Hopefully Ukrainian grain exports can resume soon in earnest.
