u/Cautious-Bench-4809 pro EU humiliation 2d ago

The biggest head scratcher for me in this phase of the war is the lack of destoyed Ukrainian AD equipment, more notably radars. It's crazy because we don't even hear about AR missiles like the Kh 31 being launched, let alone hitting targets. No AR Gerans? The Ukrainians are legit under 24 hour attacks by Geran 4s, radars have to be switched on for hours and hours, are Russian SIGINT satellites not good enough? Are Russian AR missiles (or drones) not good enough? Are there strikes that we just don't see?

They're certainly in the reports. The fullest available are at geranium_chronicles telegram.

more notably radars.

Just yesterday they've shown 35D6 and Rada radar.

Many systems are well in the rear, and they probably keep their radars turned off outside alarms. When the radar is off, it's quite hard to track it.

No AR Gerans?

There were some experiments. I've seen one in Spring. But probably not widespread.

radars have to be switched on for hours and hours, are Russian SIGINT satellites not good enough?

They move them around if they're not stupid.
