⚡According to 🇹🇷 Turkish media sources, another 🇺🇸 US Patriot battery was destroyed as a result of rocket attacks on Kiev.

Three Patriot batteries were sent to 🇺🇦 Ukraine, two of which were destroyed within few weeks.

Russia detects a Patriot battery and launches standard cruise missiles with electronic and satellite intelligence. Then a hypersonic missile is launched towards the battery.

When the battery commander sees that the missile is more advanced than they can destroy, he starts firing all at least 32 missiles in the battery indiscriminately, and the battery is destroyed immediately afterwards.

Thus, today there was probably a loss of at least another $2 billion, the previous losses amounted to $5 billion.

⚡🇷🇺 Russia is deliberately launching waves of cheap Shahed-136 drones into Kiev to drain Ukrainian air defense missiles.

There are countless softer targets all around 🇺🇦 Ukraine where they would be more likely to achieve hits but that doesn't seem to be the main goal.

Air defense missiles aren't just expensive it's also the fact that they can't be easily replaced.

It's smart to trade a $20,000 drone for air defense missile that isn't even guaranteed to take the drone down.

Elsewhere it could instead target Russian fighter jets.
