A bad night for Russia's air defense budget
It turns out Russia's supposedly elite anti-air kit is just expensive kindling waiting to be lit.
Someone clearly decided the Ryazan refinery was having too quiet a week. After a visit from some uninvited guests, the facility is now sporting a rather large, unplanned bonfire.
Meanwhile, over in the Rostov region, it wasn't just the airfield getting a makeover. The local defense assets, including a Podlyot radar and a couple of Pantsir-S1 units, failed their basic job interview. The irony of anti-aircraft systems burning up while failing to spot the threat is simply top-tier comedy.
Expensive scrap metal is the only logical outcome of trying to protect a fuel source with gear that thinks it’s invisible.
