I think the title is misinterpreting what Rybar said. “Deployed” in this case almost certainly means on the other side of the river, but close enough that the bridgehead still falls within its protection. An S300 system is a network of several vehicles, it would be tremendously vulnerable in a small space like a bridgehead. Plus, you’d probably need a pontoon bridge ready to get the system across, and I believe the consensus atm is that the pontoon is still being put together.

Aaah, you're completely right, I get it now that I read it again. Sorry for the misleading title, I genuinely thought they brought it across the river which is completely unnecessary regarding the range of S-300...

Just found out you can actually edit titles, which is awesome and frightening at the same time o_O

Now that is a large umbrella.

Hopefully they can get the bridge in and start pushing to Crimea

I wonder to what extent are these S-300 systems there due to russia shelling civilian targets in Kherson almost daily.

The bridgehead protection might be just nice side bonus.
