Is it possible that they aren't working (either technical/mechanical issues, or logistics)?
Typical "German Engineering", cool when it works, lol

Interesting to see a radar completely oblivious to being observed by a drone. Must be old tech with obsolete doppler processing.
Every radar has a minimum detection distance.
It is a basic physical thingy, means the most modern AESA radars has this limitation as well.
Actually, as "narrower" the detection range , the power/detection capability increase as much.
The 36D6 radar only have a -20 to+30 beam elevation angle, so it seems the drone was hovering in a blindspot beyond the max top angle of the radar?.
Early S300 are supposed to use a different radar, the 76N6, for low RCS, low altitude targets and so far I haven't seen any Ukrainian S300 with it.
Later S300 variants integrated the capability into a single search and acquisition radar.

The drone didn’t teleport itself within the minimum range of the radar. It managed to pass through the radar detection perimeter: my guess is by flying slow and hiding in clutter.
What do you guys think about the possibility of a renewed attack from Belarus?
Micheal Koffman and others reported that the Belarusian armed forces are training at a historically high level and tens of thousands of Russians troops are training in the country as well. One speculation was that they would go for the Rivno nuclear power plant in the north west.

West of Dnieper is quite hard to take right now, it's a wish dream presently. Only thing I can see offensively from the troop in Belarus is coming down on the east bank of the Dnieper and cut the country in half. If Russia can achieve that, even with losing west part of Kherson on the other side of the Dnipro it would be a good achievement. Not sure that Belarus want to go full on and they look to have cold feet. It will be Russian only most probably.
No one is coming down from the Belarus side. There is only a few 1000s Russians stationed there as part of their joint thing with Belarus. If there was any plans to come down from Belarus then there would be several more 1000s of Russians there but there isn’t.
Was not thinking something was happening either and I clearly don't see anything happening in the west beside infrastructures and targets of opportunity strikes... it will be interesting to see where the Russian will do a surge this winter tho.
No surprise there. They are just too quick in getting the hell out after firing their load and likely reload 20-30 miles away from AO.
