That would be the s-400 they destroyed the day before yesterday.
With a cruise missile. One of the things an s-400 is supposed to shoot down.
In the Russians' defense, it's harder to shoot down a cruise missile than a civilian airliner with almost 300 innocent passengers including 80 children.
The same is true for the US.
As always treat this with a grain of salt, but I heard their tactic was to overwhelm it with decoy drones before sending in the actual cruise missile. Kind of like what the US did during desert storm over Baghdad
