How to Spot Bullshiska: Did RuZZia Destroy the Patriot Missile System in Kyiv? Here's a tweet from a PooTin cuck in Iran: US Patriot fires everything it has in Kiev and then gets destroyed. Western weapons are overpriced junk. pic.twitter.com/3oHb8p4vGc — Seyed Mohammad Marandi (@s_m_marandi) May 16, 2023 And the Kremlin, of course, is also making the claim: Russia claims to destroy US-made Patriot air defense in Kyiv \| Daily Sabah CNN is also reporting on the possible hit: US assessing potential damage of Patriot missile defense system following Russian attack near Kyiv (msn.com) So let's first examine the video itself. It certainly looks like a missile launcher got destroyed, but was it part of a Patriot missile system? We don't know for sure. Second, let's say one RuZZian missile got through the defenses, which is plausible given that even the Patriot isn't perfect, and took out an actual Patriot missile launcher. Guess what? The Patriot missile system is actually made up of several parts, all distanced from each other: If RuZZia truly wants to disable the Patriot, they'd aim for the command module or the radar. The radar is the easiest to locate given that it's emitting radiation like a beacon of light. Why not the launchers? Because there are multiple launchers, all spaced out from each other. *They are the modules that are the easiest to replace.* I'm guessing there are at least six launchers guarding Kyiv and the surrounding areas, but even if I'm wrong, there are definitely more than one. *Conclusion* So was a Patriot missile launcher destroyed? It's possible, but that has yet to be confirmed. Did RuZZia destroy the entire Patriot missile defense system? Probably not. And even if RuZZia did hit one of the missile launcher, why did it take six Kinzhals to destroy one launcher, if the HYPErsonic missile is supposedly "unstoppable"? Because if 6 out of 7 HYPErsonic missiles were intercepted overall, that means the success rate of interception is currently 86%. Which is already within the Patriot's expected success rate of 80% to 90%. Tenchusatsu
