Babadag is radiocarbon dated as a site very new, for instance in comparison with Saharna Solonceni in Middle Dniestr.
If Babadag was formed by Kapitan Andreevo invaders, then logically they should have pushed more north to Saharna and the pattern should emerge Eastern Rhodope > Babadag > Saharna Solonceni but that's not the case, Saharna is radiocarbon dated as older than Babadag so the pattern should be different.
Also if you start with the premise that Carpathian and Danube is WHG reach then one should assume the more north and west you go the more WHG you encounter, but that pattern is broken by more Bell-Beaker and Corder-Ware rich population the more west and north you go. Point being, why not a more EEF-rich isolated population with some Steppe autosomal. Some high altitude cattle herders and metal-workers who had the right tools to do an upset.
WHG-rich I2a people had their increase from Late Neolithic up to Middle Bronze Age in Carpathian-Pannonian basin that's true, but it was localized phenomenon although to a good degree of territory until the Tumulus/Hubelgraber shepherd-warriors caused their disruption with their innovative Naue I swords who probably pushed Corder-Ware R1a people as well until somehow they were beaten during LBA by a combination of the Thracian-Hallstatt and Noua-Sabatinovska Iranic-like people.
I assume the Hubelgraber were some kindred people of Italo-Celtic people who lost their identity in history, although by MBA they were the stronger by any margin in comparison with other Bell-Beaker groups sometimes things just turn bad for you.
