Another s400 battery taken out by ATACMs yesterday

Not the first ever loss for these radars. I remember the Russians popping at least two of these 96L6 radars from the Ukrainian side, these being used also on the S-300PMU, and the S-300PMU might have been provided from an Eastern European nation, possibly Slovakia and/or Greece. The radar was first introduced in 1996. Russians might also have lost some of their own earlier. Important piece of equipment but not cutting edge, basically a frequency scanning type radar, common with air search designs. If this is the TSP variant, its used with the S-350 as mentioned and is the first time for this variant.


On to other stuff. Added to the post not related.

Afaik.. 96L6 was introduced with S-300PMU-2. With first export client being China apparently. The earlier PMU was using ST-68U while PMU-1 are using the 64N6E. They were exported to Cyprus and China

Drone footage of ATACM attack on s400

(WARNING) Loud annoying music mute first

It actually worked like the ATAMC promo video

Why the hell is the radar ATACM close to launchers? I thought they had the capability to be far from each other?

One thing is for sure the s400 detected the incoming missiles and couldn't handle what was likely a two salvo maybe three missile attack.

The video is pretty interesting footage, but how can we know if it is an S300 or S400?

Doesn't matter tho. The curious next thing to speculate was whether it was able to completely engage the submunitions.

Thus down to what missile it was armed.. if it's armed with older 48N6P odds are it wont be able to engage all of the incoming submunitions. As the missile have conventional Blast fragmentation.

This was excerpt from the "Physics of direct hit and near miss warhead technology" as typical blast frag may have little to medium effectiveness against submunitions.

If it's armed with newer 48N6D or DM Then it could be case of saturation or these missiles also not necessarily have the proper warhead to kill missiles carrying submunitions (the D was tested against Scud, but no real mention about what warhead they were testing against)

I'm sure affecting Russian's nuclear early warning capability won't have any effect whatsoever on the escalation ladder vis a vis NATO.

It has effect of course. But just like attack on Saratov or Engels i would believe the NATO patron would consult the Russians about it. So nothing will happen.

For me tho it's kinda Ukraine is trying to provoke Russia into panic mode.
