  • An image shared on Facebook allegedly shows a destroyed Russian S-300 anti-air missile system targeted by Ukrainian Defense Forces. Verdict: Misleading The image shows a destroyed Ukrainian S-300 anti-air missile battery, not a Russian one. Fact Check: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is looking to provide air defense systems following a wave of Russian cruise missile and drone strikes, according to Politico . The U.S. recently denounced a claim from Russia suggesting Ukraine would use a dirty bomb on its own territory to potentially frame Russia, CNBC reported. The image appears to show a destroyed S-300 battery, targeted by Ukrainian forces. The Ukrainian Defense Forces have destroyed a Russian S-300 air defense missile system near the Zaporizhzhia region’s city of Tokmak, The post’s caption reads. The image was also widely shared on Twitter. Destroyed Russian S-300 battery near Tokmak. #Zaporizhzhia #Tokmak #Ukraine pic.twitter.com/Jig4AidTUa — (((Tendar))) (@Tendar) October 14, 2022 The caption is misleading. A reverse image search found that the image shows a destroyed Ukrainian S-300 anti-air battery. The battery was included on Oryx’s list of destroyed Ukrainian equipment, which tracks military losses in various conflicts, including the Russian-Ukrainian war. The destroyed S-300 battery can be seen in a Mar. 30 video shared by Ukraine Weapons Tracker, an open-source intelligence (OSINT) account that tracks vehicle losses in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. #Ukraine : A Ukrainian S-300PT SAM battery, destroyed by the Russian army in Malyn, #Zhytomyr Oblast – likely in the beginning of the invasion.
