Russian air defenses vanish from the north!

Satellite imagery around Severodvinsk, home to Sevmash, the only shipyard in Russia that builds nuclear submarines, shows more than two dozen S-300 and S-400 launchers, radars, and reload vehicles have vanished from three defensive sites since 2024. Ukraine has never launched a drone at the site; Russia moved the air defenses south to feed a war it can no longer cover everywhere at once.

Ukraine didn’t have to hit Severodvinsk. It only had to prove it could.
