how do you look at a bunch of scorch marks on the ground and start talking about data handling facilities and western components and irreplaceable skilled technicians when everything looks completely intact? guess maybe the scorch marks are actually su-57s and nuclear submarines along with the big one on the left being the briefcase carrying the nuclear launch codes and the result of vlad himself spontaneously combusting. looks like another one of those situations like with the refineries and the bridge where the repair time goes from 3 months to 500 years due to the loss of access to western consultants and the need to relearn technologies such as welding and concrete work and oil refining from scratch. and with those launch codes being lost forever, surely we can expect that russia won't be able to launch their nukes for at least a few generations until their society figures out complex and difficult concepts such as counting and writing down numbers all over again in order to come up with new launch codes sometime within the next century. clearly we are looking at a total russian collapse and crimea victory beach party coming up very soon. wishful thinking level 100/100

[@mrkeogh]

The equipment at the back could be power supply and cooling equipment. High-powered radars need quite a bit of cooling if you don't want to fry the electronics, and at a minimum cooling helps avoid excessive "noise" in your returns that you send off for signals processing and analysis. You don't really need to damage the array itself, which might be tricky given their lattice-like structure. Just knock out the power and cooling units and that big old radar is down until they're replaced 👍🏻

[@chriswareham]

The array itself is largely passive equipment as well, quite straightforward and relatively easy to repair. The support equipment is the more fragile and difficult to repair part of the system. Much of this is Soviet in design and construction, and almost impossible to replace.

[@theovanderstorm3171]

We used to have CT scanners (medical) the computerroom had to stay below 28C otherwise it would have to shut down, at risk of major damage. I guess this could be the same. On top of the grey containers it looks like there are airco fans. Kill the electronics, you’ll kill the radar system.

[@doogssmee9742]
