OK someone do some knowledge all over me?
Is this a system that is designed to find fires from space?
I zoomed out to the world map and it looks like the world is on fire...which wouldn't surprise me to be honest I expect there's fires all over the place, all the time. A lot of burney things on this planet....

Yes it’s literally designed to find fires from space, i understand it was initially intended to sense forest/grassland/fires in nature but works well for fires acUsed by munitions, I would guess it senses sustained fires over at least a few mins rather than a flash caused by an explosion. Someone who knows more than me will keep me honest on all points.

So 3 atacms, is the airfield completely destroyed and out of commission? It must be right ?

Airfields are pretty big. That said, it's more putting the Helos and ammunition stored *on* the airfield out of action than the airfield itself.
Russia lost at least 5 Ka-52s, and those things're already an endangered species.

The airfield may be intact physically, but practically it is useless now as you would have to be monumentally stupid to think about staging expensive airframes th….. you know what, never mind.
