Terrific high quality images of Type 076 LHA Sichuan docked at the old Hudong facility in Shanghai. I dont think we've seen the hull as clearly before. Via _p2p/Wb.

For those who don't have access to imagery, a new Russian radar we've been monitoring that could be associated with the S-500 is now in Google Earth.

A nice 1 look collect from @capellaspace.bsky.social showed the total destroyed structures at the Ahvez UAV airstrip which included UAV hangars, weapons storage areas, the control building, and various support structures.

Looking at imagery, we often focus on what's not present as much as we do with what's present. This recent conflict between Israel and Iran was no different. It provided us with another opportunity to look at what Iran has been testing out at Kashan airport after they dispersed their UAVs.

While things have slowed down between Iran and Israel, there's still plenty of accounting to be done to fully understand the damage to the air defense network. Plant imagery acquired 1128Z 24JUN2025 showed a destroyed Matla-al-fajr VHF radar and two probable containerized missiles.

Iran's air defense continues to be degraded. Planet imagery acquired 0744Z 18JUN2025 highly suggests Israeli airstrikes have destroyed S-200 components to include the two 5N62 SQUARE PAIR and the 5N84 TALL KING radars. These were deployed around the Eight Shekari Airbase in Isfahan.
