Something I noticed earlier... the 2 leading Taiwanese Radarbox stations are virtually unusable today.

Probably just a coincidence.
PLA eyes up.

FNY5433 is Dassault Falcon (Mystere) 20G no. 80 #3B9BB5
PLAAF 🇨🇳 Y-8G (GX3) ECM 30518 #7A4262 now solidly in the Taiwan 🇹🇼 ADIZ as a fresh US tanker arrives through the Luzon Strait.

🇺🇸 PEARL56 is USAF KC-135R tanker 59-1521 #AE0598

A new pairing!

PLA Ground Force 🇨🇳 callsign for hex code #7BE04E, pinging Kinmen County station, Taiwan 🇹🇼.

LH993766 would be an Mi-171 from 73rd Army Aviation Brigade out of Luocheng/Hu'ian, Fujian.
Updated positions of (00000) USN 🇺🇸 EP-3E Aries II SIGINT 159893 #AE1D95 & PLAAF 🇨🇳 Y-8G (GX3) ECM 30518 #7A4262. At their closest, maybe 30km separated the two.
I think they notice each other.
For those who don't know, the Y-8G (GX3) is an electronic countermeasures aircraft (ECM) with what is believed to be a long-range standoff jamming array in the housing that look like protruding cheeks.

If it is a jammer, I don't know how effective it would be in close range.
The EP-3E, on the other hand, is a Multi-Intelligence recon aircraft. It provides near real-time SIGINT & video intel for fleet or theater commanders worldwide. It collects & disseminates data for threat assessment & battle space situational awareness, DEAD/SEAD, AAW, ASW & more.
EP-3E retiring from the area via Luzon Strait. RC-135W 62-4131 not far behind.

PLA aircraft no longer visible and likely also retiring.

Key points:
64.8% of the warehouses of Toropets Northeast are gone. By destroyed, most are mere craters now.

The 24.5% of warehouses damaged but still relatively intact will need to be rebuilt, many from the ground up and are likely unsafe to use.

1/
The remaining bunker/warehouses still operable are surrounded by twisted ruins with doubtful electricity, infrastructure and rail (likely crippled post-attack).

Will Russia rebuild? Likely. They've shown stubborness to. But we are talking years to return to prior condition.
2/
The arsenal was one of 13 state arsenals meant for rennovation to meet "the world's highest standards," per then Deputy Defense Minister General of the Army Dmitry Bulgakov. Toropets Northeast was supposed to be hardened against even a nuclear attack.

🧵What I remember most about learning of the attack was how everything that'd been a slow grueling grind of expediting info & processing for several weeks came to an abrupt halt. Those trying to get out of the city had to go elsewhere.

It was a cruel end to a horrible month.
1/
I had felt that with so many people and US troops in one place that it was risky; something could happen. One last ISIS-K or Taliban punch. Anything.

At least 182 people - Afghans, Americans, Brits - died. God knows how were maimed.

2/
I'd been helping with a project that had a hard deadline; the attack moved it up. I went back to work, probably out of futility, in case there was an opening. I think many still stuck in Kabul ended up trying for the borders, by road. By foot. The DMs were frantic. Desperate.

The fire has reached and engulfed the Maligne Lodge on the SW side of town. Word that the Petro-Canada is a loss as well.
