Pocket change if it's true.

"Likely damaged"?

They aren't sure if it was, or not?


And... "damaged", as opposed to "destroyed"?



Really trying hard to pull a rainbow out of a turd, aren't we?

5 more arrived yesterday and will be in use next week.
And more is one the way, they are cheap to make.

If true, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Patriot system.

The patriot missiles have always been pretty bad.

A Patriot system was likely damaged but not destroyed

So, they managed to damage one of these ?



Sounds more like a lucky shot, rather than pinpoint accuracy. And by the way, you throw enough missiles at any system and you'll eventually get through. How many did Russia lose just to damage one system ?

Then again, what would we do without our daily dose of Russian propaganda.

a reply to: vNex92

Yeah, probably damaged by falling debris from one of your downed Wunderwaffens.

How many of your missiles got through last night to Kyiv and how much do they cost a pop?

a reply to: vNex92

Yes, they used them and at least one shot down by those rubbish Patriots.

Wreckage is all over social media.

Few more shot down last night according to multiple sources.

Lots of other crap Russian glorified fireworks, too.

"Damaged". So not directly hit.

They seem to have been working just fine.

Plenty of video evidence everywhere to support that.

Not lucky a shot the Russians until recently had started more advanced missiles.

The Daily dose of Zelensky support coping is amusing...

a reply to: DAVID64

By the way whenever is Ukraine going start their alleged counter offensive on Crimea?

No evidence, then?

Just more sneering.

Don't talk to me about propaganda.

It's all you ever post.

Like I said, you don't do irony.

Seriously? A Patriot battery consists of up to something like 11 vehicles. Damage to a TEL is still damage to the battery, but can be repaired simply by replacing it with a different TEL, or simply removing it from the firing chain. In this instance, there were something like 20 missiles, and multiple Shahed UAVs involved. ANY air defense system can be overwhelmed and damaged.

There's no such thing as a 100% capable weapons system. Add in trying to stop hypersonic weapons, and the fact that shooting down a missile doesn't mean it vaporizes in midair, and there's always a chance of damage. Those missile bodies have to land somewhere. An air defense system can usually stop an incoming missile far enough out that it's not going to damage infrastructure on the ground, but if the missile is fast enough that the intercept is closer in, there's more of a chance that it's going to continue forward farther and possibly hit something, like the battery.
