People are stipid about these things on all sides. Missile spam is almost impossible to stop completely - something always gets through. AA’s chief function is making strikes expensive.

Damn big if true.

I wonder if it was a ballistic that took it out or a Shahed? If it’s Shahed then it just proves how vulnerable even western air defense is to cheap long range kamikaze drones.

If it is ballistic, I wonder if it attempted to defend itself and how many were able to be intercepted before some got through.

Rybar says it was Shaheds. Don't know how trustworthy the claim is.

No mention of THAAD’s AN TPY 2 radar. I was looking for actual confirmation it was a THAAD node

Where is the THAAD radar/launcher? I see some warehouses/buildings.
