On June 20, information began to appear about the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Serpentine. On June 21, the attack on the island was confirmed by the operational command "South". It also became known what exactly the Defense Forces managed to destroy in the temporarily occupied territory.

In particular, as a result of the strike, the Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated the Pantsir-S1 self-propelled anti-aircraft missile and gun system of the Russian Federation. One such device costs more than $10 million. It is equipped with two twin 2A38M anti-aircraft guns of 30 mm caliber. Pantsir-S1 uses 57E6E missiles. It can hit targets at altitudes up to 15 km. The maximum firing range is up to 20 km.
