Below is a picture of the ZU 23-2. Very effective against low flying aircraft. Not effective against SU-24M flying above 20,000 feet. Also not effective against Stormshadow/Scalp missiles.

If S-300s & S-400s can't shoot down ATACMs or Stormshadows, why keep them in Crimea?

Put them in Belgorod where ATACMs are prohibited from attacking.

They apparently can’t shoot down atacms or much of anything else. Their most “effective “ use is as a V-2 style terror weapon

Another potential military export down the drain

We lost the Tu-22M3 bomber. Questions remain regarding the Su-57

Unfortunately, we lost the Tu-22M3 strategic bomber. It was hit by an enemy drone at the Mozdok airfield a few days ago ( we wrote about this ). “Very serious damage, the plane was completely disabled. We use some of the parts to repair other such bombers,” a source in the Aerospace Forces told us.

At the same time, there is hope that the Su-57 fighter, damaged by a drone strike on the airfield in Akhtubinsk, will be repaired.

“The repairs will take at least a year. Experts say: the probability that the plane can be saved is at least 30%. But the damage is serious, questions remain,” an interlocutor at the Ministry of Defense told us about this.

Our sources also confirm damage to the second Su-57 in Akhtubinsk. This plane can definitely be fixed.
