Likely this means one battery has been knocked out for the foreseeable future, but the second one may still be fully operational or it may be reliant on supplemental radar or it might have been denied the supplemental radar. We just don't know any details beyond that at most two systems may have been damaged, one of them badly. permalink fedilink source parent
