🧵/ link in the last tweet. It looks like Ukraine has finally hit the S-400 positions, which were revealed earlier last year by tourists taking photos near the beach close to the city of Yevpatoria. Images by @planet, taken today VS Aug. 28.
Despite being revealed by that lazy tourist, this AD base was kept near the village of Molochne and even enhanced. Now they have two locations: the main one on the left and, allegedly, a spare one on the right.
An OSINT analysis of the active S-400 position near Molochne by @Osinttechnical suggests that keeping the missile containers in the open could explain the secondary explosions seen in a video.
Ukrainian media outlet @UkrPravda_news cites sources from the SBU and the Ukrainian Navy, claiming that this was a joint operation. First, drones penetrated the S-400 radars, and then 'Neptune' cruise missiles targeted and destroyed the launcher. pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2023/…
Drones flying towards the S-400 site indeed have been spotted over Yevpatoria prior to the strike.

🧵/ link in the last tweet. During the two raids on the gas rig(s) in the Black Sea, Ukrainian SOF may have captured one of the components of the Russian R-330M1P 'Diabazol' automated jamming complex.
This is the screengrab from the @DI_Ukraine video of the raid, which was made public today. The consignee of the box is Unit 60135, which is the 475th Separate Electronic Warfare Center in Sevastopol.
But what's even more interesting here is the consignor. It's 'Protek' JSC, which manufactures just one but vital thing for the Russian army: the components of the 'Diabazol' automated jamming complex.
The source article is a pure clickbait, typical for Russian regional media, always lacking funds. It literally says 'wanna know what will happen to this cemetery? Click here!' 63.ru/text/gorod/202…
But what will happen? The cemetery will be transformed into the ordinary military cemetery, like hundreds all over the world.
A few notes: 1) Second Prigozhin's plane (RA-02748) was bound from St. Pete to Moscow (not vice versa like RA-02795, which crashed). 2) This second plane strangely stopped transmitting any open data almost an hour ago after flying a weird path near Moscow.
So, the second plane (RA-02748) reportedly landed safely in Ostafyevo airport near Moscow. What's interesting is that earlier today it flew from Moscow to St. Petersburg. If Prigozhin was back from Africa today, the real question is whether he arrived to St. Pete or to Moscow.
There was a military base right near the crash site (Artillery and missile storage ), and there are speculations that what is seen on the first videos of the crash is the AD rocket trace. old.wikimapia.org/#lat=57.689726…
'Piro-Ross' company, the owner of the warehouse that exploded near Moscow, produces professional fireworks and launchers for 105mm, 125mm, 195mm, & 310mm shells (). The shells found at the explosion site don't necessarily have to be related to the military. https://t.co/2FzdTPGx6G https://t.co/hhSOwnshPbpiro.piro-ross.ru/catalog/startd…
Head of the 'Piro-Ross' detained for interrogation (). His company has dozens of large scale fireworks shows in its profile, including those attended personally by Vladimir Putin and some for Russian navy too. https://t.co/eHwGVpvMz9t.me/breakingmash/4…
Let me reiterate: 'don't necessarily have to be related' doesn't mean 'not related'. Those shells indeed don't look like fireworks, but there can be several explanations (like conversion as a source of explosives). Also no secondary detonation on videos.
Russian Telegram channels spread what they say is German AfD party 'social advertising', mocking the govt support for Ukraine. The problem is that Russian professional film actors are filmed in it, like this guy, Igor Alexeev () https://t.co/MInrzlhvPH https://t.co/DMYiIlszoLarchive.is/4Qpfu
The main role of the woman who confiscates all the property from the ordinary German family in favor of Vladimir Zelensky is plaid by Russian actress Julia Mandriko () https://t.co/5xHOQXP5Dupcnika.ru/actor/3017
