TenQ at it again Note: TenQ caught dishing out Shitsyou stew again. RuZZia's HYPErsonic weapons have already been intercepted by U.S. Patriot missile systems. First lie(weapons, not one missile) 2nd lie, that it actually happened. The Pentagaon has NEVER confirmed it, only referring us to the lying Ukrainian gov't. If Patriots were routinely knocking down Russian hypersonics, it would be all over the news. Instead, just silence for the last year. Ukraine downs Russian hypersonic missile with US Patriot May 6, 2023Ukraine's air force claims to have downed a Russian hypersonic missile over Kyiv using newly acquired American Patriot defense systems, the first known time the country has been able to intercept one of Moscow's most modern missiles. Air Force commander Mykola Oleshchuk said in a Telegram post that the Kinzhal-type ballistic missile had been intercepted in an early-morning attack on the ... In the same article(link to briefing): "Zaluzhnyi said he also briefed Milley “about the situation at the front and preparations” for Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia. Ukraine has not said when it might launch the counteroffensive, but it is widely anticipated this spring" How accurate is your source Q? Transcript: Q: Two related questions. Ukrainians say they used a Patriot missile to intercept a Russian Kinzhal, or Killjoy, missile. Was the U.S. able to confirm that? And what did you learn from the intercept of what Putin has called an impossible to intercept missile? And then what is the -- how much concern is there about Ukraine's current stock of air defense munitions? Do they have enough, given the continued Russian barrages? GEN. RYDER: Yeah, thanks, Oren. So first of all, when it comes to Ukraine's readiness, its inventory or details of missile intercepts, I'd -- I'd refer you to them. I can confirm that they did down a Russian missile by employing the Patriot missile defense system. As you know, that -- that system is part of a broader range of air defense capabilities that the United States and the international community have provided to Ukraine. I listed out some of those, you know, as part of their multilayered integrated air defense capability. -- Q: I just wanted to double check -- you -- you did confirm -- you did confirm that a Patriot downed this Kinzhal missile ... GEN. RYDER: Correct. Q: ... did I hear that right? GEN. RYDER: Correct. Q: Was this a U.S.-provided Patriot or one of the -- from the Dutch or Germans? GEN. RYDER: Yeah, in terms of those kinds of operational details, I'd refer you to the Ukrainians. Q: You can't confirm if the U.S. Patriots are now over there? GEN. RYDER: The U.S. Patriot is over there. Q: It is? So you're confirming that ... GEN. RYDER: I'm confirming U.S. Patriot system is in Ukraine, but in terms of which specific battery they employed, whether it was a U.S.-provided, Dutch-provided, I'd refer you to the Ukrainians. Q: OK, that's fine. Thanks. GEN. RYDER: OK, thanks. And last question, we'll go to Will. Q: Also, I just had a quick follow-up on the -- on the Kinzhal. Is -- is this the first time -- or the first intercept of a hypersonic missile in combat? And do you have the date of the intercept? GEN. RYDER: I don't, and I -- and I -- again, I'm not going to get into the specifics or trying to characterize it, other than, again, to say we can confirm that the Ukrainians took down this Russian missile with a Patriot missile defense system.
