Russian Strikes Destroyed Patriot Launchers, Radar

The Russian military has targeted another Ukrainian MIM-104 Patriot long-range air defense system of Kiev forces, the Ministry of Defense announced on July 20.

“Operational-Tactical Aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, and Missile Troops and Artillery of the Russian Groups of Forces have engaged two launchers and one AN/MPQ-65 radar station of the U.S.-made Patriot SAM [surface-to-air missile] system, and clusters of enemy manpower and military hardware in 113 areas,” the ministry said in its daily briefing.

The ministry didn’t clarify when or where exactly the Patriot system was targeted. Video footage showing Russian attacks on such high-value Ukrainian targets usually surface online within a few days.

Overnight, Ukrainian media reported a series of Russian strikes with four Iskander-M tactical ballistic missiles and 17 Geran-type suicide drones. Hits were reported in the regions of Kharkiv, Poltava, Sumy and Chernihiv. The system may have been targeted in one of these regions.

Ukraine received last year two Patriot systems and two launchers from Germany and another system from the United States with two additional launchers donated by the Netherlands. The systems were a mix of PAC-2 and PAC-3. Most of these systems have already been damaged or destroyed by the Russian military.

Russian Air and Missile Defense Forces Commander Lieutenant General Andrey Semyonov criticized the performance of the Patriot system in Ukraine in a recent article, going as far as saying that the air defense system even failed to protect itself.

Still, the Kiev regime has been begging its allies in the West to supply its forces with additional Patriot systems for the last few months.

In response to these demands, the United States, Germany and Romania each promised to supply a system to Ukraine in recent months. Other countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Spain said that they would provide additional missiles.

clown asked for 25 systems, i.e. batteries. each battery (equal to a company in infantry) has its own radar and 4-8 launchers. pac-2 launchers carry 4 missiles, pac-3 — 16, interceptor missile is much smaller. one aad complex (battalion or a division in artillery and aad) with additional radars and fire control system include several batteries (usually 4). there are around 100 batteries produced. at least 2 of them are given to judeobanderites. +1 from romania is in plan.

Jaxxon

you have good detailed info. thanks.

thanks to missilery.info and some news sources. “wikipedia” wasn’t used. total number of brigades in nazis hands is up to 5, need to dig more to find out. i remember about 3 times when “patriot” was under the strike. at least 2 radars and 5-6 launchers are damaged/destroyed with “dagger” and “iskander-m”.

does it matter? ukrainian civilians are safer without them.

i wonder how many americans died in all these destroyed launchers!
