Ukraine’s destruction of six lauded Russian Kinzhal (NATO reporting name Killjoy) missiles on Tuesday is impressive not as proof that US Patriot missile system technology works, but as evidence that US-trained Ukrainian troops shot down those missiles. This was revealed to journalists by the US Army of the Pacific. Here: Breaking Defense.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian channel Resident reports: “According to information from the General Staff, our air defences were forced to fire a salvo of 32 missiles from Patriot today to prevent detonation and mass destruction in the residential sector. The entire battery was destroyed by an incoming hypersonic missile and the SBU is looking for the source of the leaked video of the missile launch and explosion. All the information about the mass attack on Kiev was launched on purpose to explain the mass rocket launch and not a single explosion in the sky.”

And Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said: “We did not launch as many Kinnzhals as they allegedly shoot down every time with their statements. And the number of these “Ukrainian intercepts”, and who is really controlling the American complexes there, is still a big question, is three times more than we are launching”.

Kiev has badly screwed its “lord”. In two minutes about $700 million were sent to oblivion, while the cost of Killjoy, by different estimates, was from $500 thousand to $1 million.

The image losses are even more impressive. The lauded American system could not keep the Saudi oil infrastructure safe from cheap drones and cruise missiles in 2019, let alone a hypersonic system. The US got a juicy slap in the face. Well, if all is so great with the Patriots and the training of the Ukrainian military, where was the American missiles on the night of 17 to 18 May when the Russian forces launched another massive strike on Ukraine’s military infrastructure both in Kiev and in other cities?
