9 Oct strike on S-300 radar:

Thanks to Israel-Jordan deal to open more flight paths over both countries and signing of Abraham Accords, travel time of Etihad Airways flight from Italy to UAE shortened by 90 minutes For the first time ever, a commercial flight of an Emirati company entered Israeli airspace on Wednesday An...

This is S-300 battery in Karabakh before attack: 5N63S illumination and guidance radar (main component): 4 5P85S missile launchers: 5I57 diesel power plant and 63T6 electric transformer unit (they look similar): During the attack we saw 5N63S being targeted: After attack only...

The aftermath photo: Launchers and other equipment are gone and only the illumination & guidance radar remained on its place, most probably because it is destroyed (i cant think of another reason). It should be noted that Harop has shrapnel warhead (5.5 kg of explosives + 10 kg of tungsten...

Seems Armenians mainly relied on Osas. But Bayraktars showed that they are completely immune to them. What Armenian Buks and Tors are doing is a big mystery.

I very doubt this report. Maximum range of S-300 against ballistic missiles is very limited: 30-40 km. And all Azeri batteries of S-300 were spotted near Baku (Surakhani, Hokmeli, Sumgait). While Mingachevir is 230 km from Baku. S-300 are huge vehicles their movement now for sure would be...

Finally we see a medium range SAM destruction. This was an old static position here: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7782063,46.7507033,238m/data=!3m1!1e3 With 25 km radius this is zone it could protect: I guess it was destroyed only now because its still quite far from frontlines.

Reaper's SATCOM: When u see a hump on UAV top thats SATCOM. It allows behind LOS operations. Modernized Azeri S-125 exercises: Excelent cost effective solution vs. UAVs.

Harop for obvious reasons does not have satellite dish so it uses LOS datalink. So when Harop is descending at some point LOS communication is lost, but it s designed to continue flight autonomously. Intercepting at this point is almost impossible + its dangerous for own troops and equipment...

Radar absorbing materials are quite heavy, while UAVs have large wings and small weight. TB2 has 12 m wingspan and 650 kg max take off weight. F-35 has 11 m wingspan and 30 tons max take off weight. Also external storage of weapons drastically increase RCS. Thats why u wont see stealth among...

Its Harop.

Strike drones are slow, high flying, non maneuverable, non stealthy. So any medium range SAM can detect them from long distance and easily shoot them down. Even old ones like S-125 or SA-6. If you deal with decent multilayer air defence, you need: 1) Take town long and medium range SAMs, long...

When Russia wants to be involved they always find some excuse no matter what the agreements say. What stops Russia is the strength of the Azeri army and Turkish support.

The attacked S-300 site was in Armenia itself not in Karabakh. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2726478,46.5066547,664m/data=!3m1!1e3 36D6 surveillance radar remained active and was destroyed, however 30N6 guidance and illumination radar was hidden and missile launcher was placed on its position.

Regarding Armenian Tors. They bought them in December 2019. So had enough time to train crews. It is newest modification Tor-M2KM on Kamaz truck chassis. 16 km range and 10 km altitude (Osa has 10 km range and 5 km altitude). In Armenian colors: The number was not disclosed.

Armenians launch Scud: Looks like new footage.

Not Repellent. ST-68 aka 36D6 Tin Shield

First P-18M 2D meter band early warning radar. Second ST-68 3D decimeter band radar.
