4. Check this out: Russian Missile Defense System Blows Itself Up

Well, this is just bizarre. The footage appears authentic (see below) so many wondered how it could happen. Initial speculation that the Ukrainians did it seems highly unlikely so the most plausible explanation seems to be a complete malfunction of their air missile defense system, something that isn't supposed to be possible, and especially not on a modern system as technically advanced as the S-400 Triumph. Possibly, Russia's own anti-air defence systems may have interfered. An expensive and deadly embarrassment for the Russians, as each system costs around $300 million in US dollars.

7. I'm thinking missiles and not artillery shells

Quick goggle search suggests artillery shell crates are bigger than pictured and square-ish.

Long and narrow says missile to me, which fits with the other stories of their running low on bigger missiles.

If anything this is better news. Missiles are more effective and harder to replace. Running low on those probably hurts more.
