I just saw video evidence showing the complete opposite.

…Kiev Littered With Pieces of Putin's Wonder Weapons

Putin’s double right? Since Putin died of cancer last year?

[Trumpisourlastchance]

This is utter fiction.

“Patriot Defense Leaves Skeptics Wordless, Russians Embarrassed, and Kiev Littered With Pieces of Putin’s Wonder Weapons”

yeah, right ... that’s not even possible ... a russian troll just posted here that the patriot missile system has never shot down a single flying object during its entire existence ...

It did in fact intercept Scuds during the Iraq war, but it didn't destroy some warheads, so they continued to fall, albeit on a different trajectory. That, by the way, is sufficient if you are protecting military targets.

We've spent thirty years improving the missiles and radar. Plus if some of the missiles were aimed at the patriot batteries them selves, it should be easier to hit them as they are a direct shot.

Were any of the batteries damaged? Maybe. But if they were destroyed, the Russians would be crowing about it.

“… Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday that they successfully intercepted all six hypersonic missiles fired by the Russians, but the Ukrainian military declined to comment on the Russians’ claim that a Patriot system was hit. “We cannot comment on this. We’ll stay out of commenting on Russian sources,” said the Ukrainian Air Force spokesman, Yurii Ihnat…”

I have no idea if any of this is true. I tend to put no faith on “news” from either side. The only thing I KNOW from the video was that I saw anti-ballistic missile after missile being fired off and each one being launched cost the AMERICAN TAXPAYERS yet another $3 million.

This is Baghdad Bob level of reporting.

The real version of the story, as compared to the hoho-lie version...

[threefinger]

“Wonder Weapons” also were part of Hitler’s downfall. Tanks too big to be transported by rail and too heavy to cross any bridge in Europe. So many different supply trucks were built for Wehrmacht use that they needed to stock most of a million repair parts to keep them all running.

Allied research after the war concluded that if Germany had committed all the financial and industrial resources they’d expended on the V1 & V2 rocket programs (which did little to promote German chances of victory) toward conventional aircraft, they could have built an additional 25,000 fighter airplanes.

Which doesn’t paint to rosy a picture for Putin’s hypersonic missiles either.
