Yevpatoria (~02:14 a.m.) a high-end Russian air-defense node was blinded and burned in seconds. Ukraine hit the eyes & brain (radar/command) with low-altitude routes + decoys. Precision > Power.
Why it matters:
• No radar/command = no intercepts.
• Low-cost drones can outmaneuver systems tuned for high-altitude threats.
• If this “can’t-be-breached” shield falls this fast, there may be new gaps across western Crimea.
Discuss:
• What failed first—sensors, EW/jamming, or the decision loop?
• Do inland relocations of SAMs create coastal gaps?
• Is this an outlier or a trend?
