No, but I did see the Patriot shoot 32 missiles [at $3mil a pop] at one, all missed, and then the Patriot got blown up. Remember that one! It was pretty famous, got a lot of play, and the Ukes threw the kid who posted it into prison. Maybe he was Gonzalo’s cellie, since imprisoning American journalists by our ‘partners’ is cool now.

CHINESE MILITARY JOURNAL ASSERTS RUSSIA LIED ABOUT ‘HYPERSONIC’ KINZHAL

“As a result of this lack of maneuverability, the Chinese analysis suggests reports of Kinzhal’s intercept are likely to be true.”
“The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced that the Ukrainian Air Force shot down a Kinzhal hypersonic missile using the Patriot PAC-3 air defense missile system on May 4, 2023,” the report reads. “There is more and more evidence showing that what the U.S. and Ukraine say on this matter is true.”

“Western analysts who pointed to Kinzhal being nothing more than an air-launched ballistic missile appeared to be proven right on May 4, 2023, when Ukraine’s recently activated MIM-104 Patriot Air Defense System reportedly intercepted one of these allegedly “invincible” missiles for the first time. Since then, there have been several other reported Kinzhal intercepts, with American intelligence agencies coming forward to confirm their validity, despite ongoing Russian efforts to dismiss these claims as nothing more than “Western propaganda.”

Seriously confuses CGI on his gaming computer with reality. The drugs probably helped.

You saw this personally? I’m curious, what variant of the Patriot is it that can launch thirty two missiles at a time?
