This is another angle on that point blank engagement between defending UKR tank (destroyed) and advancing RUS tanks. Shows they took losses also.
EDIT: nevermind, you were posting about this already.

Looks like something on the coast near Belbek.
Probably SAM launcher. Or a jet carrying rockets crashed short of the runway?
EDIT: jet crashed on take-off
Not sure I agree with his claim to be able to tell which tanks are repairable via satellite imagery. I get that some are obvious junk (rusted hulls without running gear or turrets), but wasn’t there a report that something like only 20% of 1st Guards Tank Army tanks in storage were suitable for bringing back into service?
503rd MRR was previously reported in key position facing Huliaipole, but I don’t know how recently. Regardless, 58th CAA is clearly responsible for this area and this is a key component of its strength.
