Found this on twitter:

7/ AlERT: Both S-400s & S-300s were fired against the #Tomahawks bringing down 36 of the 59 #US missiles fired; some fell near #Tartous.

I wonder how accurate this is? If accurate that means about 37% of our missiles will make it past S-400 and S-300 systems.

The S-400 is a very, very good air defense weapon system. The system includes a 96L6E radar, which gives the S-400 an anti-cruise missile and anti-stealth intercept capability. Syria has S-400 systems, so it’s entirely plausible.

Count the impacts in the picture.

It isn’t accurate. Think about it? What do you expect a Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman to say? Of course they are going to downplay and muddy the waters. If the Russians had shot down those cruise missiles then they would have been all over it showing the evidence. The claims of the S-300/400s come from armchair warriors filling in the blanks of the claim that only 23 hit their target. It is all part of the propaganda.
