What has Yury Ignat spoken about lately? Shooting down lots of Russian planes and attacks on Russian targets. Like this one "Ukraine drives Russia back at sea and in the air, but concedes land". Ignat was talking about Russia losing that landing ship loaded with munitions and five fighter bombers, all irreplaceable. He admitted Russia finally captured Maryinka.
Or what is left of Maryinka. It only took Russia 20 months, a few battalions rendered combat ineffective, to take .88 square miles of rubble. A fair trade in my book.
Besides, the Patriots were shooting down Khinzals since they were deployed in Ukraine since May. Like this Kinzhal: "Ukraine and the Kinzhal: Don't believe the hypersonic hype".
"On May 4, 2023, Ukraine used a U.S.-supplied Patriot battery to down a Russian Kinzhal missile, which Russian President Vladimir Putin had announced in 2018 was a “hypersonic” weapon that could overcome all existing air defense systems.They had a picture of the nosecone of the Kinzhal that was shot down.
For 20 months a bad week for Ukraine is a worse week for Russia.
