This is factual:<\/p>\n

Patriot Missiles Won\u2019t Save Ukraine<\/a> – National Interest <\/em>– May 9, 2023<\/p>\n

Patriot systems are limited to pinpoint defense of major assets and are designed to operate in tandem with air defenses engaging targets at higher and lower altitudes. Without these additions, Patriot will have too many threats to engage and the result will either be porous coverage that doesn\u2019t protect its defended assets, or coverage that quickly subsides when Patriot runs out of interceptors.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Patriot systems are themselves vulnerable. Operating a Patriot radar system gives away its location, making it an open target for Russian attacks. This means that Patriot is not a one-stop-shop for defending Ukraine\u2019s military assets or its people.<\/p>\n

Those facts were proven last night.<\/p>\n

\u26a1\ufe0fI hate to be the bearer of bad news, but after careful review of this video, it appears that the air defence battery (most likely patriot) tried to save itself, but failed. It most probably got toasted.

Those were expensive two minutes for the ‘West’:<\/p>\n
