“Ukraine advanced 2.6 kilometers into Russian-held areas near Bakhmut along a 3-km (2 mile) stretch of front line, according to Andriy Biletskyi, a commander of the brigade that stormed Russian positions.
The area is now liberated, with many Russians killed and captured and military equipment destroyed, he said, in comments that were impossible to immediately confirm.
Ukraine’s General Staff declined to comment on the report. It came a day after Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, said a Russian army unit fled its position in Bakhmut, exposing part of the front line and ceding territory that 500 of his fighters had died taking.”
One of the benefits of this intercept is that we (I assume) will get detailed data on the intercept. I have not worked with Patriot, but Aegis has always had built in data extraction that captures detailed radar data and missile telemetry from every intercept. I’d be quite surprised if Patriot lacked this capability. Our engineers should be able to improve performance vs Kinzhal/Iskander based on this data, as well as future intercepts. Even those that fail provide important data.
