President Putin paid a goodwill visit to China and hoped to further deepen cooperation and exchanges with China. However, on the same day that he arrived in Beijing to meet with the Chinese leader, the Russian military base was subjected to a sudden and severe air strike in the Crimea region.

The S400 anti-aircraft missile system, a valuable asset of the Russian army, suffered heavy losses in this air strike. You know, the S400 is Russia's most advanced anti-aircraft missile system, capable of intercepting a wide range of missiles and aircraft. Moreover, the air raid also caused the loss of a number of Su-27 fighters, which are one of the main forces of the Russian Air Force, and their losses have also had a considerable impact on the combat effectiveness of the Russian army.
According to information from the Russian side, they believe that the airstrike was carried out by Ukraine. Ukraine used advanced weapons supplied by the United States to carry out fierce attacks on Russian military bases. This shows that Ukraine is very determined to defeat the Russian army, and they will inflict heavy losses on the Russian army at all costs.
The airstrike took place on the night Putin arrived in Beijing to meet with the Chinese leader. At that time, five American-made land-based missiles were launched from the territory of Ukraine, straight to the Russian air base in Crimea. Despite the timely interception of the S400 air defense system of the Russian army, there were still missiles that managed to break through the defense line and hit the target.
And the details of the attack revealed by the Ukrainian side are even more serious. They said that in addition to land-based tactical missiles, Ukraine also launched anti-radiation missiles. In the first round of attacks, these anti-radiation missiles successfully destroyed the Russian army's air defense radar system, greatly weakening the Russian army's air defense capability.
This is not the first time that Ukraine has launched an attack on the Crimean region. According to some reports, in order to support Ukraine, the United States has provided a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, including the "Hippocampus" high-mobility rocket launcher and land-based tactical missiles with a range of several hundred kilometers. These weapons are not only powerful, but also extremely mobile, allowing the Ukrainian army to strike more flexibly and freely at the rear of the Russian army.
What is even more embarrassing for President Putin is that the attack actually happened during his visit to China. Originally, Putin hoped that through this visit, he could further deepen relations with China and enhance Russia's status and influence in the international arena. However, when he left Russia and came to China, his own country was hit so badly that it was a great humiliation.
Ukraine's choice to attack at this time is clearly intentional. They chose to launch an attack at the critical moment of Putin's visit to China in order to deal a heavy blow to Putin at a time when he least wanted an accident. Through such actions, Ukraine has shown the world how vulnerable and powerless the Russian army is in the face of Ukraine, and at the same time further strengthened their determination to resist Russia.
This attack on Crimea is not just a simple military operation, it also sends a clear and strong signal to the world: as long as the United States and Western countries continue to provide Ukraine with advanced weaponry and strategic support, Ukraine has the potential to significantly weaken Russia's military power in Crimea and even in Ukraine as a whole in a short period of time.
Such support has made the Ukrainian army more confident on the battlefield and has also given them hope of defeating Russia.
Although the attack on Crimea has brought some unnecessary troubles and shadows to Putin's visit to China, fortunately, this incident has not affected the overall results of Putin's visit to China and the cooperative relations between the two countries.
Although the attack caused some disruption and inconvenience to Putin's negotiations and meetings in Beijing to a certain extent, the leaders of China and Russia still showed a high degree of political wisdom and diplomatic skills, and successfully reached a number of important cooperation agreements during the talks. These agreements not only cover many fields such as economy, trade, science and technology, but also further consolidate the strategic cooperative relationship between the two countries, demonstrating the close relationship and depth of cooperation between China and Russia.
