Ukraine is saying the shot down all the Russian missiles, like 16-18 I forget. Ukraine says this includes 6 hypersonic missiles shot down.
Russia says they didn’t even fire 6 hypersonic missiles.
The video LINK Shows like 30 Patriot missiles fire, then we see and explosion near where they’re coming from and it all stops.
So my thoughts on this as an uneducated person are:
If Russia indeed did down their missile system why didn’t they use this opening? This patriot system just went online. So is it a show of force? a test?
Anyone curious about isreals patriot defense system will find this story to grab their attention as it unfolds. Big implications for isreal if so.
The lack of Russian follow through makes me doubt them, but Ukraine going after the Ukrainian singer who posted videos of it make me really doubt Ukraine too. I guess the truth may be somewhere in the middle.
Seems reasonable for the most part.
For me, the video showing the release of the missiles from kiev to the sky indicates the activity is real.
The grouping of the missiles suggest either long range or multiple targets in close proximity.
I can consider two tales:
One, the missiles were fired at the kinzhal on approach hoping to down it before arrival. Depletion of the missiles and reduced activity before impact suggests this could be.
Two, there was a barrage of incoming stuff that consumed all the patriot missiles to ensure a safe arrival of the kinzhal
In any case the poor womans video proves that something fast arrived and touched down. Did it miss?
I’m not sure if it’s really easy to find information if it missed or not, we just know something landed successfully very close or at the patriot battery and blew some shit up.
The technique they used is pretty straightforward. They had like multiple drones launch 18 missiles including one hypersonic (according to Russia) so the video and reports seem to indicate they shot a bunch of missiles off to make land a hypersonic.
If that’s what actually happened who knows but it def looked like a strategy to overwhelm the defense system. Ukraine fired 30 and Russia fired 18 that’s about all they agree on.
We can only work with the information we are provided with.
