“The Patriot system”
Perhaps, the Patriot system was not destroyed:
“Russian rockets. It was highly likely the merit of the Intelligence, which unveiled the Russian plans and ensured that PATRIOT SYSTEMS showed up at the right place at the right time.
And such insight was indispensable for the 100% success rate because Russians used 6 hypersonic missiles, Kindzhal, and 3 yet unspecified ballistic missiles, which could only be intercepted with Patriot systems. As the Spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force stated multiple times, regular Ukrainian air defense, such as Buk, is incapable of intercepting hypersonic objects.
RUSSIAN SOURCES REPORTED that they targeted areas of forces concentrations, ammunition depots, and warehouses with equipment and that they achieved all their goals and destroyed all predetermined objects.
Later local residents started publishing a lot of photos with different remnants of Russian rockets that they found on the streets of Kyiv, some of them even found whole missiles. Several hours later, a video was published with partially reassembled intercepted Russian rockets.
Russian sources also CLAIMED they almost didn’t use hypersonic missiles and that they destroyed one Patriot system. Some sources circulated a video showing an explosion in the area where Patriot systems have been launching rockets. The Ukrainian side responded that PATRIOT SYSTEMS ARE INTACT and that the explosion was caused by an intercepted missile that fell in the Soloviansk region and caused a fire in a bus station.”
Perhaps, the Patriot system was attempted to be TARGETED BUT not destroyed!
“Later local residents started publishing a lot of photos with different remnants of Russian rockets that they found on the streets of Kyiv, some of them even found whole missiles. Several hours later, a video was published with partially reassembled intercepted Russian rockets.’
A Patriot missile battery is a group of vehicles and launchers spread out over dozens of kilometers. Nothing short of a nuclear weapon can take out the entire battery in one hit.
This is Russian Standard Propaganda Procedure when they get a bloody nose. They lie and get in the last word by saying actually, it was really the Russians who gave the other guy a bloodier nose. Which means Russia got a broken nose and their feelings are really hurt by it.
