Claimed first use of S-400 as surface-to-surface missiles

The post claims Russian forces "for the first time" struck targets using S-400 missiles in a surface-to-surface (ground-to-ground) role. If accurate, this indicates either a new employment tactic or a notable adaptation of an air-defense system for land-attack missions, potentially expanding strike options when dedicated ballistic/cruise stocks are constrained.
