It reads like the Russians spoofed the SAM system with a couple of bluffs and then destroyed it afterwards with one well aimed counter.
That's only my interpretation of the information available on this situation.
Only an element of one battery (which are dispersed) was damaged by some debris. It won't even have to be removed for repairs.
Very little damage then, odd thing to flaunt on social media.
Its because a Patriot battery just shot down six of their "unstoppable" missiles, so they are desperate for a win.
This isnt even one of the top line launchers either. These ones are surplus from the 2000's that only had upgrades for targeting ballistic missiles after lessons learned in the Gulf War (involving some incident failing to intercept SCUD missiles). So imagine what it would be like with newer model launchers.
