Also, don't the more modern versions of the S300 outrange the HARM in most envelopes?

Even the S-300PT can shoot the thing TBH for self defense. The issue is of course whether the battery actually aware of the thing coming.
Ukrainian have been smart flying low and then launch in pre-brief mode in hope that the battery is there and pointing elsewhere.

Some confirmation Russia is also using the smaller Shahed-131 drone and it's called Geran-1.


Told you Musk is petty enough to cut off Ukraine from Starlink over getting insulted on Twitter

VKS worked in the direction of Davydov Brod

It seems that the AFU has reinforced its units in the direction of Svatovsky

This may be a little more serious than it appears. The AFU was heavily reliant on Starlink, particularly on Kherson where they were used for communication, indications suggest a communications blackout due to the Starlink system's inactivity.

I don't know if Optyne is under Russian control, apparently it's still contested

More Kerch bridge news, was it actually damaged that badly that such a long time is allowed to repair the damage? I had thought it was a simple matter of cut out old rails and replace. This might suggest structural damage in the concrete from the fire.


Otherwise, the bridge is still (mostly) out of action it would seem.

That's just rude man, not even Taiwan want Hawk these days.
Incidentally Iran is extremely familiar with this missile, can probably give Russians pointers if they need it.

Old systems with claimed but unproven anti-cruise missile capability and still in numbers so low as to be of questionable value.

Surprising they aren't getting S-125 as well

That Buk one looks like a decoy. But well it's not like the lancet drone that hit it to be anymore expensive.

They will only be useful to take out Shahed drones, and very uneconomically.

Slowly but surely is demilitarising NATO.
