This video describes the military situation in Ukraine on the 17th of August 2024

Both sides seem to be doing a good job of annihilating each other. The CCP and deep state probably enjoying this immensely.

Specifically Ukr still taking ground around Kursk and Russ gaining ground around Nu York (spelling?) farther south. In material losses Russ seems to have inflicted a severe loss on Ukr air defense with 6 SAM systems destroyed and 1 SU-34 being blown up on the ground in 1 day.

Human losses must be frightful. I noticed the Military Summary Channel doesn’t even give KIA/WIA estimates anymore and they used to routinely.

I wish to see them negotiate and end this war.

Phoenix8: "In material losses Russ seems to have inflicted a severe loss on Ukr air defense with 6 SAM systems destroyed and 1 SU-34 being blown up on the ground in 1 day."

Nowhere that I can find are Russian claims of Ukrainian US Patriot anti-missile system losses confirmed.

Russian claims are refuted by:

1. Newsweek (August 2) reported that Russian forces claimed to have destroyed two Patriot systems in the Odesa region.
   However, they couldn’t independently verify these claims and were awaiting comments from Ukrainian authorities.

2. US News-Reuters (July 7) reported that Russia claimed to have struck two Patriot systems, but Ukraine stated that these were decoy targets designed to waste expensive enemy missiles.

3. Institute for the Study of War (ISW) (March 10) noted that they had not observed evidence to confirm Russia’s alleged destruction of a Patriot system.

4. US Stars and Stripes (May 17, 2023) reported that Ukrainian officials denied Russia’s claims of destroying a Patriot system.
   A U.S. official mentioned that a Patriot system had suffered damage but was still operational.

5. Times of India (May 17, 2023) also reported that Ukraine denied Russia’s claims, stating that the Patriot system was damaged but not destroyed.

It's worth noting that a Patriot system can support up to 16 launchers located within an area of 120 square miles, and that the missiles themselves, while expensive at ~$4 million each, missiles are expendable and relatively easily replaced.

There is more to add. The US Military Defense world on Sep 15th starts to “ feel” the pain of reverse sanctions…..China is shutting down Antimony supply to the US. ….vegetable head Joe’s sanctions failed, miserably….I never would have thought I would ever back China’s policies….but it is now apparent this is what is needed to stop US’s forever wars.

Good Job Joe!

If the US can not curb/ control its war cheerleading, the world will.

Congress, get busy, and that doesn’t mean waving your Ukie flags with one hand and giving $$$$ billions with the other.

Negotiate a Peace agreement and make your apologies to China and Russia before they strangle us economically.

Is that you supporting Red China against us or just the source you prefer to use?

[delta7]

I oppose the US forever wars, and bankrupting America with Vegetable Heads $$$$$ Billions to the most corrupted country in the world….it is getting clearer we are on the path to hard times.

America first means just that. The world has had enough, us Americans have had enough. The world is now having to reign in an out of control US.

Is that you saying that or agreeing with your source saying it?

Here is a source for 2 claims.

The video showed all 5….accurately I dont know.

"Here is a source for 2 claims.

I saw at least one of those later yesterday here on Torsten Heinrich's Military & History YouTube post.

He showed the video, but could not confirm what damage, if any, it caused.

So, Russians have claimed they destroyed several Patriots over the past year, but so far Ukraine has not confirmed the loss of any, nor have any of the alleged videos clearly shown Patriot losses.

The most Ukrainians ever acknowledged was that Russians had hit one of their Patriot decoys.
