Two Patriot Missile Systems Destroyed...

[Vastator]

Millions more of American taxpayer dollars just went up in smoke. Two Patriots destroyed by hypersonic missiles. What's the running tally on how much money our government has wasted over there now..?

A Russian Drone Spotted A Ukrainian Patriot Air-Defense Crew Convoying Near The Front Line. Soon, A Russian Hypersonic Missile Streaked Down.

A Russian drone operator’s persistence paid off when they located a Ukrainian convoy including, it seems, two truck-mounted quad-launchers for a Patriot missile battery.

Drones are really changing warfare.

At least with our weapons, our military, the Ukraine can spend their money on stuff other than the war.
Yep, $60 billion will go to building 4 nuclear reactors. 2 of which will be Russian????

Looks like the Burisma payoff to the democrats was well spent

Two of the units - which include reactors and related equipment - will be based on Russian-made equipment that Ukraine wants to import from Bulgaria

Standard part of conflict now especially when dealing with Mericans

Send up Drones costing a few dollars and get Mericans to fire defense rockets and missiles costing millions .

I thought Ukeys had completely run out of seviceable Patriots -- -- all destroyed or awaiting replacement parts .
But Patriots , Himars , Bradleys and Abrams -- all second class junk to the Russians .

My biggest concern is for the personnel who were killed operating these systems. Were there American casualties?

Anti-missile systems destroyed by missiles? Maybe we are sending useless outdated junk over there.

The Patriot missile system was made in the 1970's

I am appalled, that we still have them, even to sell.

On the plus side we get to see the other side's counters to our weapons (most of what we are sending are older versions anyway) and the slide rule geeks can figure out our own counters to theirs.

Sure but they have changed battlefield dynamics till a effective jamming system can be developed.

Hey, for the little ones maybe shotguns will be great again.

The newer Russian drones are operating with fly by wire fiber optics. Nothing to jam...

I bet somebody in the "intelligence" community is making a lot of money on the side.

Grand Thumb recently did a video with some guy who've been out there. It's an interesting watch. And yeah, they said shot guns are being used.

Hey, maybe Mossberg will bring back the 835 3.50" magnum.

Are the Patriots active when being transported?

They were likely using Baikal shotguns....Sorta crude but damn near indestructible.

Russian Fiber Optic Drone Can Beat Any Jammer

The Ukrainians recently captured a Russian drone which communicates via a fiber-optic link, making it jam-proof. This looks like a big headache and not just for Ukraine.

Next comes Kharkiv which will all but end the present ramshackle remaining UAF fighters who barely warrant the title of army any more .
No wonder the likes of Litwin , Mamooth and Horsey Horse have given up their comments on imaginary situations -- it is shambolic for Nazi Kyiv .
