The real version of the story

As the article notes and as others have noted, hohos are using robots to try to extinguish fires and clean up the mess at these kinzhal vs patriot sites since no humans are volunteering to go near the places ("...I got enough health problems without glowing in the dark...").....

So you rely on one article from a guy that seems to be anti US? Foreign policy mag is generally left of center and has been for a while. If Russia succeeds in Ukraine will you invite them into the Baltics? Why do you dislike Ukraine? Are they not pure enough for you?

The Patriot system is just a failed Raytheon scam that’s way overpriced for its limited abilities. It has many critics besides just that guy. If you’re a true patriot then you would want us to have the best bang for the buck, not some overhyped crappy system of limited utility. You’ve been indoctrinated with a bunch of nonsense.

So, you equate the American credibility with that of the Russians? Really? Good to know.
———-
I equate Ukie credibility the lowest on the credibility rank. Russian credibility better than Biden’s American credibility, non western media confirms much ( not all) of Russian credibility. Fact is clear- the Ukies are getting clobbered all across Ukraine - from Lvov to Kiev, to eastern Ukraine.

Other than all the Kinzals, as well as all the other missiles, were destroyed.

I guess you didn’t view the satellite photos of the before and after missile strike.

After the COVID lies, "Russian collusion", and more silly stories than I can count, I give zero credibility to anything the US government says. Are you saying you believe US government statements?

LOL!

You would do well working for the democrats and crating your own dossier on me, full of lies.

So, you think that by lying about me you can create credibility for yourself? You're like Hillary 2.0.

Nice try but, go back to working for the Russians as Hillary 2.0. I'm pretty sure they love you over there.

Well apparently despite their limited maneuverability they still were able to bypass the Patriot battery.

Only in the dreams of Putin's lovers, and the propaganda posted by Russian military psy-ops teams and their allies here on FR.

When the Russians are winning the narrative by telling the truth..

Actually they are not winning the narrative, and they are not telling the truth. Are you another pro-Russian propaganda poster or just uninformed?

Sorry, I don’t know how to post images. My teenage son found a few websites with the pictures. Strange, he follows this war and has commented that it is obvious tge Ukies are getting clobbered- smart kid.

You must work for Raytheon to defend their crappy “anti-missile” system. It’s overpriced garbage like many of the other weapon systems that we have. How is it we spend 10x the amount on the military as Russia does yet technology wise they seem to remain at parity with us?

One site I found quickly, many more available.

https://sonar21.com/khmelnytskyi-did-russia-vaporize-depleted-uranium-shells/

I would suggest non- western MSM sources for reality.

The most plausible chain of events in defeating US Patriot batteries. Go Vlad, our Patriot batteries belong in the US.

“ The Russian Armed Forces destroyed the American anti-aircraft complex Patriot in Kyiv with a strike of a hypersonic missile “Kinzhal”. During the attack, Ukrainian air defense used up several dozen Patriot, SAMP-T, IRIS, NASAMS and S-300 missiles, but failed to prevent the Russian strike. In addition to the Patriot division, several positions of other air defense systems were destroyed. Experts note that the RF Armed Forces used the tactics of combating American air defense systems, developed back in the 90s. After many years, it has proven its effectiveness on the battlefield.
Patriot, which was delivered to Ukraine, is one of the first versions that is transported on semi-trailers, military expert Alexei Leonkov told Izvestia. - Its peculiarity is that it occupies a certain positional area about two by two kilometers in size. Another feature is that it had eight launchers, although usually there are two or three per battery. And then we saw a desperate attempt by the Patriot to shoot down the “Kinzhal”, which was flying towards them. They’ve used up all their ammo. 32 missiles flew away, did not hit. As a result, the “Kinzhal” destroyed the heart of this Patriot - the radar and control center. And it became useless.

I won’t go into details, but she forced the Patriot into action,” he explained. “Thus, the positional area where the Patriot was located was discovered, and a Kinzhal attack was made on it. This proves that the Patriot radar was unable to determine the approach of the Kinzhal. And only when it became clear that the Kinzhal was already heading towards them, they began to shoot back. But the Patriot cannot shoot down a Kinzhal. 32 missiles is a very large expense. This indicates the complete inefficiency of the Patriot in relation to the hypersonic complex.

They told the truth this time, or are you so uninformed as to not know this?

Thats the story. Ukraine lied, Russia told the truth.

Why are you so enamored with death that you claim moral superiority by cheering the body count upwards and cannot supply a cogent argument?

Are you that deranged?
