Cronología

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    On November 25, Ukraine successfully struck Russia's Kino Airbase, a highly defended target protected by an S400 air defense system. This attack came after the US, UK, and France authorized Ukraine to use Western-supplied missiles against Russian targets, marking a shift in Western policies. Kino Airbase, a strategic location for Russian operations, has been a target due to its role in launching airstrikes against Ukrainian territories. Historically, Ukraine has targeted the base's fuel depots and command facilities, with the recent installation of advanced defensive systems like the S400 and Tombstone radar by Russia to deter attacks.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:12:44

    Ukraine's attack on Kino Airbase utilized US-made missiles equipped with cluster munitions, targeting the airbase's radar and missile systems to debilitate Russian defenses. The attack featured a mix of decoy and strike drones to deceive and overwhelm the S400 system and its associated sensors. This tactical approach allowed Ukraine to blind the base’s defenses before launching ballistic missile strikes equipped with cluster bombs, causing significant damage to the base's air defense infrastructure. The operation not only demonstrated Ukraine's advanced tactical capabilities but also signaled a shift in the geopolitical landscape, reflecting enhanced international military support for Ukraine.

    Airborne threats within 300 kilm how did

    Ukraine carry out this attack to answer

    this we'll have to make some informed

    weapons and
  • 00:06:31
    Radars it's been assessed that the
  • 00:06:34
    base's principal defense and sensor
  • 00:06:36
    complexes were located several
  • 00:06:39
    kilometers to the
  • 00:06:40
    east
  • 00:06:42
    here these consisted of a single 92 n6e

    S400 transport erection and launch
  • 00:06:56
    Vehicles each carrying four S400 missile
  • 00:07:00
    tubes as far as the Russians were
  • 00:07:02
    concerned the base's infrastructure was
  • 00:07:05
    adequately
  • 00:07:06
    defended the Russians knew from
  • 00:07:08
    experience that they could expect a
  • 00:07:10
    Ukrainian attack from the
  • 00:07:13
    south this is what's called a Threat
  • 00:07:16
    Vector and the Russians were
  • 00:07:19
    Vigilant but it turns out they were also
  • 00:07:22
    dead
  • 00:07:23
    wrong so how could Ukraine take on so
  • 00:07:26
    formidable a
  • 00:07:28
    defense the key key to Kino was its
  • 00:07:31
    Tombstone
  • 00:07:32
    radar though it is a multi-roll platform
  • 00:07:35
    in this case it was acting as the main
  • 00:07:37
    sensor associated with the S400 system
  • 00:07:40
    protecting the
  • 00:07:42
    base and here is where we speculate but
  • 00:07:45
    based on previous Ukrainian attacks this
  • 00:07:48
    is likely how The Kino hit went down the
  • 00:07:52
    Russians expected an attack from the
  • 00:07:54
    South but the first attack lightly came
  • 00:07:58
    from the north
  • 00:08:00
    in the hours before the hit Ukraine
  • 00:08:02
    launched a wave of long range strike
  • 00:08:04
    drones towards
  • 00:08:06
    Kino these included a combination of
  • 00:08:09
    Silent platforms like the Puma and

    c4i faster Strike weapons like the

    planned ranges and flight times of each
  • 00:08:32
    of these different types were calculated

    so that they could be launched at the

    appropriate time to converge on the

    Target in a phased wave attack the
  • 00:08:44
    slowest and quietest drones were
  • 00:08:46
    launched first so they could cross the

    the first platforms to converge on the

    were the first to appear on Russian

    base this was done to divide Kino's air
  • 00:09:14

  • 00:09:17
    diverted when the strike platforms
  • 00:09:19
    infiltrated from the East circled around
  • 00:09:23
    and approached the tombstone radar and
  • 00:09:26
    missile systems from the north these

    strike drones masked their appearance to

    the S400 in Tombstone using topography

    approach as they closed in a few minutes
  • 00:09:46

    that's when the strike drones arrived

    the tombstone S400 and other targets
