In summary, Sergey Kotov is seen in the video at about 860 m likely approximately northeast of POV / IDEL 4 position (POV/IDEL 4 ~ 45.0368, 36.5124).

@markbairden Did she really argue that a truck apparently ignoring "No Travel Advisory" and losing control on a non-federal highway in South Dakota somehow illustrates that we should not be preventing a critical global security issue with just a fraction of the US federal defence budget? 🤦🤦

A Mi-8 variant helicopter, possibly a non-airworthy airframe stored at the location since perhaps at least 2003 (see 2003 Google Earth imagery below), was destroyed apparently by an attack UAV in Tiraspol, RU-occupied Transnistria part of Moldova.

One additional observations about the video: the Tu-154 (bottom right, red rectangle) is gone in the latter part of the video after a cut => this could help date the video eventually. Note: to reduce video image noise I took the mean of indicated frames.

This distance closely matches the distance from POV to Sergey Kotov based on known size of Sergey Kotov, TWIN STAR, and the approximate distance to TWIN STAR from the POV / IDEL 4 (from the AIS and relevant satellite imagery).

Conclusions: - the drones (or whatever was in the air) have certainly reached the airbase. - given that social media reported around "half-hundred explosions" we'll wait for satellite imagery for proper damage assessment (this video only shows 5 of them).
