Russia trying to cover-up the interceptions the patriot system did to them. 48 hours ago.


Propaganda news! They attempted but the Patriot system intercepted it. Same Patriot shut down the overhyped Kinzhal missile, but they will never announce that.

Putin should explain to the world why Russia was ONLY able to displayed ONE tank in its last military parade 🤣🤣🤣. I guess the rest has been fried up in 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
shut up because most of the tanks are being deployed

Is comment like this that makes me mad . You don't force people to be your friend ...the question to ask is simple ...why are people who are originally members of the soviet union going there separate ways ? The answer is simple ...they don't share same ideology with putins Russia..They want democracy and freedom . We have gone past the time of Hitler...puttin is trying to take the world back to stone age . Putin doesn't like democracy while other like it ...he can't decide there destiny . For me the best solution is to allow Ukraine aquire those missles that can hit Russia directly ..This will enable the world to start preparation for nuclear war since that is the only thing giving putin liver.
Guy you know nothing about this war. Let me break it down for you....
You're constantly being harassed by a group of cultists. Eventually, you and the cultists sign a peace pact that they'll leave you alone. One day you hear that your next-door neighbor is being wooed by those same cultists and, from what you've seen so far, the only reason the cultists want your neighbor to join is so it'll be easier for them to attack you using his house as a launchpad. Will you fold your hands and watch this happen? I hope you now understand

Only a tree will stand in a spot when it sees the farmer coming with a chainsaw. Russia is doing what every other country will do when its sovereignty and its people are threatened. In 1962, Russia set up a missile base in Cuba. Cuba is around 90miles from Florida. Because of this, US went to war with Cuba. Ever heard of the Cuban missile crisis? If US couldn't tolerate that shit, why is it doing same to another country?
Isn't that hypocrisy of the highest order?

Hello! Russia is just another Nigeria that happens to be in Europe, and lucky to have snow. Nothing happens there outside vodka and nuclear bombs.

You still have told me why Russia was able to parade only one Soviet Union tank 🤣🤣🤣. Anyways, it’s no news that Kinzhal missile was shot down and it’s all over reputable news media channels, not Telegram.

Why didn’t Russia attack Finland? Cos same scenario plays. Finland shares about 800 miles of land boarders with Russia?

And come to think of it, why are all the territorial Neighbor’s of Russia aligning with NATO?

Don't you read the word of fighting in proximity, or you can't understand what I meant?
Russia is fighting all Western powers led by US, including NATO member states of Eastern
Europe and Japan with South Korea in proximity, Ukraine only using as the theatre of war.

Question google to know how much US, UK, France, Germany, Poland and others has spent over this war, then you'll salute Russia.
Logically, Russia is fighting US and her allies not Ukraine,

BreconHills:


The key quote in this long write up is[b] "reportedly destroyed"[/b]

It's difficult to see how a patriot battery could be destroyed as you describe. Time will tell even as soon as tonight whether a patriot battery was located not to talk of been destroyed.

It's also curious that the "destruction" was not followed by a barrage of missiles targeting the other missiles defence systems employed by the Ukrainians

I take those with a pinch of salt. Quite a lot of salt in fact.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/16/politics/patriot-missile-damage-ukraine/index.html

The Feds acknowledge a Patriot battery was damaged. According to them it was not destroyed. I don't expect them to admit it was destroyed, but they're likely correct in their assessment.

Patriot is not the most advanced AD in US inventory. It performed woefully in the past although they've had ample time to correct its deficiencies and upgrade its capabilities. More AD systems will be destroyed by Russia because effective AD cover require multiple systems working in sync.

Ukraine does not have that. It's AD coverage is a cacophony of disparate ADs designed and calibrated for wildly different operational conditions. Lots of gaps and vulnerabilities.

As for your quip about taking out every AD system. This takedown demonstrates the capability. And the focus is on destroying most of the materiel stored for the upcoming offensive. The MoD will decide how and when it is necessary to take out AD systems. No point taking out an AD battery protecting the UKR General Staff whom are untouchable at the moment when there are depots with tons of ammo situated elsewhere. However, when Patriot or any other similar system is used to safeguard sites of interest, it'll be taken out as demonstrated yesterday.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Ukraine and the Pentagon to provide proof that they brought down a hypersonic missile with an SAM that it is not rated to intercept. Saying the Patriot took down a Kinzhal is like saying a Howitzer took down an F-35. The physics does not compute.

You cannot say that a Patriot Battalion that failed to protect Saudi oil facilities from low-tech Iranian drones operated by Houthi rebels in 2019 somehow shot down a next-gen missile you haven't been able to replicate. Like, push your propaganda with sense.

All these half news mongers..... Show picture proof that the equipment blown to pieces is indeed the patriot system?

US said the patriot was damaged but not destroyed.

They are still accessing the level of damage to ascertain if the equipment can be fixed on ground or will have to be pulled out and shipped to the USA.....

I didn't see where you stayed that the patriot destroyed 6 of Russia once declared invincible kinzhal or kill joy missiles bringing the total number to 7......
When it comes to Ukraine news.... To show the world false news about them go deh sweet una

You don't expect US to tell you that their much touted missile system was destroyed, would you?

Also, I saw images of the Russian hypersonic missile that Ukraine claimed they shot down, it turned out to be dumb bombs. Wish the level of propaganda and disinformation being pushed by MSM concerning this war, I learnt to verify my news from different sources and I advise everyone to do same

Even the USA used recruits nd exconvicts to prosecute d wars in Afghanistan,Syria, Libya etc. If not, most of deir elite forces will kiss d dust.

Same tin Russia is doing now. And because dey used only one tank for deir parade,u assume dey av no tanks again. Dey flew few jets during d parade too, maybe dey don't av fighter jets again too. Or wat do u think?

Ukraine is being bombarded with missiles, maybe d missiles are not frm Russia too,since Russia has no ammunition left.

U will b ook eventually.

How many fronts was the US fighting during the Afghan war? Stop cooking up stories!

baba, no be propaganda o. It was destroyed. The tactics was simple. Attack the system from multiple directions and Ukraine lacked enough batteries to shoot all down. It was bound to happen. To effectively use it, u need sufficient batteries that can withstand all missiles from all directions. Ukraine doesnt have such as they are fighting a country that has to capacity to send missiles from multiple directions. One or two defence system couldnt have withstand such multiple targets that came in at the same time. It was just pure logic.
All of the systems built by America, Russia, UK, China, all can be stopped becus all are made by humnas. The only difference is the country with much more of that systems.

Russia HASN'T attacked Finland. You don't even seem to understand what's happening in international geo-politics. You think this war with Ukraine is the highlight of this conflict? hahahahahaha.....my young man, you're so naive.
Let me explain something to you; Russia is/has shown the world that NATO/US isn't as strong as they claim they are. Currently, Russia is under up to 2500 sanctions and they're still waxing stronger. This is what's giving countries the confidence to join BRICS, and to abandon the USD as the reserve currency for international trade. You see what happened in Saudi Arabia, South Africa etc recently? It's only a matter of time other countries will join BRICS. For reference, NATO countries control only 25% of world economy. Let that sink into your brain for awhile.

What you're witnessing is the end of a unipolar world, and the start of a multi-polar world. US/NATO fell into Russia's trap, and it's unfortunate that Zellensky foolishly allowed/is allowing his country be used as a pawn in this game of giants

Please don't go mad. Maybe you forgot how the USA planted democracy and freedom in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan to mention a few. The question you should ask before you go mad is wether the USA will allow Cuba or Mexico do whatever they like with whomever they wish.

The day China makes the mistake of invading Taiwan, dem go see pepper like Russia. I'm sure Putin go dey regret he invaded Ukraine.

Get it clear, Russia never planned on destroying Ukraine.

Else, na to drop one bomb to wipe the entire country.
