/ world today news/ A Russian hypersonic missile deployed the American air defense system transferred to Ukraine
On the night of May 16, the sky over Kyiv was cut by rocket lightning. In action was the Patriot air defense system, which the US handed over to Ukraine with great “puffs” this year. And which, as the Americans advertise it, is practically all-powerful and invincible. But here’s the problem. Very soon the flashes in the sky over Kyiv turned into explosions on the ground.
And the Russian Ministry of Defense announced this morning that the “Patriot” was hit by a “Dagger” missile.
To the questions – how did this happen – the colonel from the reserve, the military observer of “KP” Viktor Baranets, answers.
– What were the goals of our strike near Kyiv?
– The main target was the American anti-aircraft missile complex “Patriot” itself. As well as some military-industrial facilities and command posts, ammunition depots and fuel bases.
– How does the Ukrainian air defense system work?
– The main thing is that the “Patriot” could not shoot down our “Dagger”, which eventually destroyed the American battery. As for our other means of attack, the Ukrainian air defense system only manages to shoot down about 10% of our Kalibr missiles and Geran drones. 90% of them reached the target.
– How many Patriot installations were there around Kyiv? How many are affected?
– So far there is information that the sky over Kiev was covered by 1 “Patriot” battery with 16 missiles. The other batteries are now being brought into battle condition by the Americans. It is expected that there will be at least 4 such batteries.
– How many Daggers did we need to destroy a Patriot battery?
– It took us a Dagger. The auxiliaries and units included in the American battery completed them the Calibers.
– How did we manage to outwit American technique and technology?
– This tactic was “suggested” to us by the Americans themselves. In advance, our Geran drones depart. They were detected by the American radars, which, however, gave away their positions. Then came the anti-radar missiles, which destroyed enemy radar stations. And then Caliber and Dagger flew over the now “blind” Patriot and the other objects.
– Kyiv’s air defense is completely disabled?
– No. Only one Patriot battery was completely disabled. Three more, as I said, are on the way.
– Is the game worth the candles? Which is more expensive – “Patriot” or our “Dagger”?
– About the price of “Dagger” – there is information that it can cost from 30 to 70 million rubles, depending on the modification. But one Patriot missile is estimated to cost about 4 million dollars on average – 4-8 times more expensive than our hypersonic munitions. And the Ukrainians (or the Americans?) fired 16 to 30 missiles at targets. Well, the destroyed Patriot battery itself costs from 0.5 to 1 billion dollars – this also depends on its modification.
– The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the same day that our air defense systems also shot down 7 British Storm cruise missiles. Have we found an antidote to them, just as we adapted to take down American Hymars?
– Yes, our air defense specialists did not immediately manage to find an antidote for the British “shadow of the storm” that has hit Luhansk in recent days. As in the case of the American Highmars. Now some days we’re pulling a dozen Haimars a day out of the sky. The same thing happened with Storm Shadow. We hit these 7 missiles with the help of Buk-3M, Thor, Pantsir-S and the radio-electronic warfare system, which “forced” the foreign missiles to move away from the target.
By the way, Storm Shadow is a very expensive ammo. The cost of 1 of these rockets is $1.3 million.
