A Patriot system was likely damaged but not destroyed by a Russian missile barrage Monday night, a US official tells @NatashaBertrand. US is still assessing the damage which to determine whether the system needs to be pulled back entirely or be repaired by the Ukrainians.

Russia failed to take out a patriot with a single hypersonic missile a few days ago - the patriot intercepted it.
Last night Russia sent a barrage of hypersonic missiles at a patriot system and it intercepted most of them lmao.

and they cant be intercepted, do you understand the physics of the question here The sheer difference of speed? Hypersonic means mach 5, it means 5 times the speed of sound, patriots cant answer that.

do you understand what intercept means?
Do you understand that an AA battery fires numerous missiles at different angles and intercepts said missiles?
Do you think they're being chases or something lmao?

no we havent, those are kalibrs, there is no kinzhal debries there is nothing, also patriots had a shit intercept rate even against old missiles in iraq, no way literally 0% chance they cant intercept hypersonic, its just impossible for the this weapon system capabilities

You're both r-slurred. Hypersonic missiles slow down for terminal phase, because at Mach 5 they ionize the air in front of them which disrupts their radar systems. Tldr: Missile fast while travel, slow when near target.
Jump in the discussion.

Kinzals and Iskanders don't slow down
They are ballistic missiles and their targeting is calculated long before the terminal phase.
Some antiship hypersonics need to slow down to use radar guidance but they are different missiles to what is being used here

This sounds like it was rendered nonoperational (i.e. destroyed) to me. We'll see in a few days.

The radar and the control center is what is important. If it was hit than the whole system and all it's missiles are useless. I doubt they targeted the missiles when the radar is much easier to find

Russia doesn't need to use any advanced tech to flatten Ukraine, we have plenty of 500kg/1500kg aviation bombs that can be lobbed from afar and destroy all infrastructure.
Most modern "advance military tech" is crap and not very useful in a real conflict because of cost/ease of use. T14 for example. I'm sure when whatever west has in stock that wasn't already revealed gets tested on the battlefield it will mostly be just as useless.

Yeah, what is the cost of the russian missile, and how fast can they crank them out? At $5 million/patriot, I suspect it might just be cheaper to let the missile hit the orphanage.

Allegedly $3M for the fancy new hyper missile the commies have. And of course it's cheaper to blow up orphans, nobody cares about them except Palestinians, and then only for photo ops.

ok
If you dont realise shooting down hypersonic kinzhals with patriots is impossible then you are just blind, lets do a proportional exercise, like I said have a friend shoot a bullet then you try intercepting it with a slingshot, thats the difference of speed at play here (in fact the difference is even greater)

There were a lot of people saying the same thing about SCUDs during Desert Storm, and even more saying it afterward. But it turned out in the end that not a single one had gotten past a working Patriot system. So I'm a little skeptical when Z-slurs now are telling me what it can't do.

You fricking regards need to realise that hypersonic missiles slow down in the terminal phase since the ionization of air at Mach 5 interferes with radar. A formerly hypersonic missile slowing to hit it's target absolutely can be hit by a patriot.

Pizza why are you doing this? I don’t even agree or disagree with you on this but why does the interception capability of a patriot missle system get you so riled up? And don’t say ruskoids are heckin’ wrongerino and need to pwnd with fact and logic because you do this with everyone.
