Hey Tom, It has been a while since I read your "Assault Mode" series and therefore I might be missing some point here, but isn't that so that when the Ukrainian SAM system is activated (and thus detected/mapped by the Russians), it changes its position within minutes to avoid been struck? Therefore, the actual map of the SAM systems the Russians are monitoring is not up-to-date? Apparently, I must be wrong due to the very successful Russian attack. Thanks!
Yes, but that relocation is of operative nature. So, you drive into your next position which can be 500 metres away or a few kilometers. But that doesn't change the tactical picture of the map.
Reason for that is, that a radar or SAM has an objective of securing a certain area. Switching away from there by means of 10, 20 and even more kilometers would change the picture.
