#1 Of course the new Russian Wunderwaffe destroyed the older American Wunderwaffe, decively you bet....
Without a local laser designator I find it ...doubtful... that a long-distance strike could 'destroy' a battery of SAMs. Hit the rader emitter, yes, but the launchers are a small target. (I don't feel like starting on miraculous intercepts claimed by the Ukrainians...)

#2 Conflicting reports. No impartial verification of either. Whatta surprise.
