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.

There must be trouble in The People's Paradise as the Choi Hyon-class destroyer remains at the shipyard despite the relaunch ceremony on 12JUN2025. It'll be amusing to see how long the boat stays in the dock given estimates provided by KNCA. Will shipyard workers escape execution? Stay tuned.

Last we saw there was a Bavar series system deployed to Eslamshahr. Yesterday, the Israeli airstrikes may have taken out the radar. There's a possible burn scar in @planetlabs.bsky.social 3m imagery where the radar was last parked, and the TEL position now appears empty.
