This is not a shock missile, but a distracting one

I see, I thought they were using RM48U missiles as decoys and the 48n6DM as actual strike missiles?? Are you sure? Really surprised they can reach Kyiv though, FP-9 is expected to have about 750km range and similar physical external shell to 48n6DM

Most likely 48N6DM SAM was targeting at an air target at the highest end of its range , may be they are trying something new tactics possible.

It is believed that this missile was created on the basis of the 40N6. Its range for an aerial target is 400 km, and here we can expect at least 600 km

Well it would appear that the Russians have lost another SA-21 Growler incorrectly claiming it was a destroyed Ukrainian MLRS

Russian propagandists produced a report in Luhansk, falsely presenting almost an entire destroyed S-400 air defence system battery as destroyed Ukrainian military equipment. The battery, likely destroyed by HIMARS.

Casual inspection of the wreckage would show that this not even remotely an MLRS but instead either a SA-12, SA-20 or SA-21 TEL and associated radars.

Post comes from Uncanny Expeditions - I caught something interesting as he was filming a base in Nevada.
Of course I could be mistaken but the images below have to be showing an S400 battery (launchers and flaplids included) in the states.

Does anyone have any idea how a Triumf battery could've gotten into the states? And from who?
This doesnt look like a bombing test range due to the proximity of all the buildings near the mobile radar/launchers

Most likely a mockup, there's plenty of those sorts of things out there. I believe they also have HQ-9 battery mockups.

Might be a captured unit, but has one been captured?

There are certainly allied nations with S300. S400 is not nearly as widely exported, though perhaps a deal was made with Turkey. Mock up is far more likely.

i truly wonder whats going to happen in the coming months. Russia has been losing on average 30 air defense units (launchers or radars) a month. Its a snowball effect. The more that gets taken out, the easier it is for more drones to slip through and destroy the rest. This opens up a massive window of opportunity for larger drone raids or even operations by the Ukrainian air force. But Im not very certain that the Ukrainian air force could put together a meaningful air patrol to confidently challenge the VKS in open air.

Regardless its gonna be wild seeing mass drone raids picking apart the famous Moscow IADs. And then of course drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles hitting Moscow.

We still have not seen any confirmed use of ERAM, and reportedly 840 were to be delivered by October. I cannot imagine that will be healthy for S-300/400, if only because of the numbers that could potentially be involved.

Tolicha Peak electronic combat range. There have been S-300PS/PMU components (5N63S or 30N6E FLAP LID B, 5P85S/SU and 5P85D/DU TELs, and 76N6 CLAM SHELL) there for years. Several other Soviet/Russian SAM bits as well. These aren't fakes.
