Preliminary BDA assessment thread on successful Yevpatoria attack: tonight, videos surfaced, showing explosions in close vicinity to Yevpatoria. Satellite imagery confirms S-400 battery engagement, destroying at least one S-400 TEL near Zaozerne.
🧵Thread:

2/ Based on scorch marks and debris, it appears that at least one S-400 Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) was destroyed. Typically, the S-400 complex includes a command and control center (a truck), two radar units for engagement and acquisition, and multiple TEL's

3/ It appears that other vehicles are in motion, having left their revetments, indicating an attempt to relocate. Notably, the absence of the all-altitude detector 96L6-1 suggests that it either wasn't originally present or was the first vehicle removed from the site

4/ An ideal scenario would have been the destruction of the rare radar system to blind all TELs, but the operation remains impressive and successful nonetheless. The successful engagement at such a distance using combined aerial means to target an AD system is remarkable.

5/ The deployed S-400 system, a cutting-edge air-defense system in russia, has been destroyed, revealing vulnerabilities to Ukrainian weaponry. This weakens their air-defense capabilities and creates new opportunities for deeper strikes.

6/ Thanks to your contributions via Buy Me A Coffee, I am able to purchase and publish satellite imagery. If you've found this thread useful, please like and repost the first message of the thread. You can also follow my Substack, as I plan to expand soon: tatarigami.substack.com
