S-300 and Radar Destroyed by HIMARS and Drone … Or is it a Decoy?
Video Summary
The video features footage of the Russian military’s S-300 missile system being targeted by a drone. The footage shows two high-precision (High) missiles being launched at the radar system, and while the radar itself is hit by the drone, it’s unclear if it’s a real or decoy attack. The video’s author examines the footage, discussing the potential markers of a real attack, such as the lack of ammo cook-off and secondary explosion, but also notes the possibility of electronic warfare devices jamming the drone’s guidance system, which could explain the lack of damage. The author concludes that while it’s impossible to know for certain, they believe the attack may be a decoy, given the uncharacteristic proximity of the S-300 to the front lines.
The author also discusses the Russian military’s radar network, explaining that the use of drones to target high-value targets like the S-300 may be a sign of a shortage of missiles or a shift in tactics due to high losses of mid-range systems. The video ends with a request to support the Medics campaign, which has sent cars to Ukraine’s front lines.
