At around 3:25, less than 15 minutes after the air battle began, the "Bunker" cruiser acting as the air defense watchship on the easternmost side was attacked.
Due to suppression by electronic attack aircraft, combined with the fact that the anti-ship missiles were flying at sea-skimming altitude, they were only detected by radar when they were less than 40 kilometers away from the cruiser.
This distance is indeed too close!
Even if they are all subsonic light anti-ship missiles, at a distance of 40 kilometers and with snake-like maneuvers, they can be completed in about 150 seconds.
Only 2 and a half minutes!
In such a short time, the "Bunker" can intercept only once with long-range air defense missiles and then enter into close-range air defense combat.
Critically, the "Bunker" is an anti-air cruiser, not equipped with close-range air defense missiles!
