In Video: Russian Iskander Missile Turns Ukrainian Patriot Air Defense System Into Fireworks

File image.

The Russian military has successfully targeted another American-made MIM-104 Patriot long-range air defense system of Kiev forces.

Video footage showing the attack on the system was first published by the Russian Ministry of Defense on March 9. Initially, the system was wrongly identified as a Soviet-made S-300. However, later additional footage showing the aftermath of the attack confirmed that two Patriot M90x Launching Stations based on German-made MAN KAT1 trucks were destroyed in addition to a third unidentified vehicle.

The system was reportedly struck near the settlement of Serhiivka in the Donetsk region. The Russian MoD said that it was targeted with an Iskander tactical ballistic missile.

Last year, Ukraine received two Patriot batteries and two launchers from Germany and another battery from the United States with two additional launchers donated by the Netherlands.

The systems supplied to Kiev are said to be a mix of PAC-3 hit-to-kill active missiles to intercept ballistic missiles, with a range of 30-60 kilometers only, and PAC-2 blast fragmentation warhead semi-active missiles to counter aircraft threats with a range of up to 160 kilometers.

The Russian military has already destroyed much of Ukraine’s Patriot systems. Recently, reports revealed that Kiev forces have integrated the system’s missiles with Soviet-era command and control radars under a program called “FrankenSAM”. This explains how some missiles are still being fired from time to time.

Ukraine recently moved its remaining Patriot systems closer to the frontline in order to counter the Russian Aerospace Forces, which inflicted heavy damage on Kiev forces using cruise missiles and glide bombs in recent months.

On January 24, Kiev forces reportedly used a PAC-2 missile to shoot down a Russian Il-76 military aircraft, killing more than 60 Ukrainian prisoners of war who were aboard.

The U.S., Germany and the Netherlands paid billions to supply Patriot systems to Ukraine. The systems failed to make any difference whatsoever. Now, the Russian military is turning these systems into some of the most expensive fireworks in history.

back in ww2 we yanks used small nuke to end the endless war and save american lives. i think russians can do the same now, use small tactical nukes to neutralize the nazis and end the war faster and the most important: save russian lives. and dont come with your “we all will die rhetoric”. it has been debunked here many times.

no, “we” didn’t. in actuality, the fake and gay overlords simply ran yet another psy-op, and created a theater production. why do you think a movie lionizing “oppenheinie” (perhaps the fakest and gayest of them all) is being acclaimed as “the greatest movie of the century?!”

all fake. all gay. dr. akio nakatani blew the lid off in 2017. find a hardcopy and read/share.

the best moment was at the beginning of the war, the reason before the world was the nuclear missiles that zelensky-nato wanted to place 7 minutes from moscow, then the russian bear roared with fury with its tactical weapons on ukrainian soil. (first in the field). also a good time after very serious provocations such as the sinking of the cruiser “moscow” or the destruction of the nord stream.

Jean Paul France

but if the russian bear is addicted to prozac and does not react, nato becomes increasingly arrogant and aggressive and tens of thousands of slavic soldiers die in trench warfare, a golden dream for the anglo-saxons and the scum of brussels.

not one life was saved by by bombing nagasaki or hiroshima—admiral nimitz

1776

or tokyo. or yokohama. or kure. or kobe. japan was a defeated nation.

pure terrorism. all the 66 japanese cities that were firebombed (to include hiroshima and nagasaki) were done to cow and terrify the once proud japanese. the khazarian takeover of japan, begun in the boshin war, was culminated in 1945.

nice: they travel at a terminal hypersonic speed of 2100–2600 m/s the iskander has several different conventional warheads, including a cluster munitions warhead, a fuel–air explosive enhanced-blast warhead, a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, an earth penetrator for bunker busting and an electromagnetic pulse device for anti-radar missions. the missile can also carry nuclear warheads.

hopefully there were no american soldiers in that ball of flame losing their lives for jews.

isn’t the point of the patriot missile system to stop incoming enemy missiles?

so that shows the patriots are worthless. except to raytheon shareholders, who seem to be doing pretty well nonetheless.
