RT: Patriot missile base in Kiev destroyed by hypersonic strike – Moscow
The air defense system was hit by a Kinzhal rocket, the Russian Defense Ministry has said
A precision strike by a Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missile has destroyed a Patriot air defense system in Kiev, the Defense Ministry in Moscow reported on Tuesday.
The Ukrainian government previously claimed that Kinzhal missiles had been intercepted by the US-made weapons platform.
The Russian military did not provide further details about the strike, which was the first time Moscow claimed to have hit the long-range system supplied to Ukraine by its Western backers.

WNU Editor: My Ukraine sources tell me that this Patriot battery was destroyed. These claims are now being backed-up by numerous videos on Ukraine social media showing (from a distance) a Patriot missile system firing a barrage of missiles that lasted for about two minutes. This was then quickly followed by explosions happening on the ground from where the missiles were launched (see video on tweet below).
I counted 30 Patriot PAC-3 MSE launches here.

The FY2024 costs of these per missile is about $$5,275,000
That was $158,250,000 fired in about two minutes. And as we see, the battery or something else likely got blown up. So it failed in its mission. pic.twitter.com/9rwPnHkNGu

That Twitter video is strange. I counted closer to 30 patriot missiles launched with associated smoke trails that hang very visibly in the still air over Kiev. Then a flash at the source of the launch later in the video, but edited to frame with no residual launch smoke at all. And no incoming contrail.
When did the flash happen? An hour after or an hour before the patriot barrage? There's no time stamp for the patriot launch. That flash is likely a patriot misfire
I believe Russian hypersonic missiles are vulnerable to the new patriot pac-3 missile batteries.
I agree of course WNU Uncle at the laundromat says it was destroyed .
Its a war you win some you lose some.
Hey faz, you're right. I prefer your blog much better. What's its name again? I forget Oh yeah, silly me. You don't have a blog. Easier to take pot shots at those who do skank
Since you both graduated from the FSB together l both understand and forgive your bias .
This video shows that there were at least 3 to 4 launcher systems in action. Now whether or not any of them were destroyed, cannot really be determined.
But, since Fazman says nothing happened except that a laundry was hit.
We must in this case, now apply the Fazman rule.
Which, of course, has a 95% accuracy rate and therefore say that at least one launcher was destroyed or possibly all of them.
Have a great day!
The missile battery shoot is an escalation. Ukrainians will be given cruise missile to take out bomber and fighters at Russian bases to prevent more Patriot Batteries form being hit.
You brrought this on yourselves.
the more you believe a patriot missile defense system was damage or destroyed the more i pity you.
He used to be cool, now he's a skank. Tommies gonna tommy. Pommies gonna pommie.
Fazman rules!
his detractors are school dropouts who have nothing to say but simply badmouth those who are smarter, better, wiser.
Details on patriot missile defense damage cannot be disclosed but in favor of ukraine lol.
Can you think of a damge that can be repaired in ukraine. Slight damage due to blank and for you to guess.
in russian supporter's head it got hit. Atleast in their illusions to satisfy them.
