Beautiful.

Russian air defenses at Belgorod airport failed marvelously today. What appears to be the SAM-launcher itself got struck directly, perhaps a TELAR struck by HARM.
White smoke clouds can be indicative of rocket fuel going ablaze. But I'm not seeing the "sparks", in conjunction with white smoke, usually associated with their detonation.
Supposed HARM fragments, nice.

What guidance methods do shahed-136 and shahed-131 use? Do they have any datalinks that enable re-attacks?
Internally, both aircraft appear to be equipped with a GNSS-transceiver (likely GPS). Externally both seem to lack any terminal homing apparatuses.

However, they still appear to be rather accurate for solely GNSS (+INS or IMU) guided munitions.

Perhaps they both, or just the larger shahed-136, possess a small radar transceiver for terminal homing. Given the accuracy and ability to hit such a pillar.

Looks like the Ukrainians retrofitted an S-60 anti-aircraft artillery gun with a siemens simatic control panel.

Notice the arrows on the four lower buttons. They likely actuate the gun, moving it up, down, left, right. Likely by means of some hydraulic actuators and a PLC. Nice.
This is very clever, perhaps overkill when manual actuation is also possible (notice all the wheels and cranks), but still very clever and cool. I love it!
Also notice some kind of joy-stick/controller, an generator/battery, a possible optical sight, and ear-pro!

This old piece of weaponary was modernized quite cleverly, probably used for indirect fire support. This is fucking awesome!

Ugh.

TASS and other Russian channels are lying cunts. The original S-400 deal signed back on April 11, 2017 was to include two squadrons consisting of four 'batteries' (rather battalions) with eight TEL, two radars and one command post each.
savunmasanayist.com/bakan-cavusogl…
In 2019, Turkey received all the equipment and weaponary to arm two battalions, so one Squadron.

Based on OSINT this can be concluded, they have enough radars and TEL to arm ONE squadron. The second squadron was supposed to be delivered in 2020, but that never happened (I think)
The 2020 deliveries of the second squadron might have been postponed due to technology transfer disputes, or so it's specualted. What the actual reason is, is unknown from my understanding.

Since then, the Black Sea Fleet has lost its flagship missile cruiser Moskva, one Alligator-class LST, one Rescue Tug, and multiple raptor-class patrol boats...:)

"Crowd-funded Yaesu and Baofeng radios." Special Military Operation 2022.
Jokes aside, Russian Su-25SM3 and Su-34 pilots are literally using US-made civilian grade GPS systems and unencrypted civilian radios to perform ground attack missions.

This is literally happening lmao.
