Several Kinzhals hit the Patriot anti-aircraft complex in Kyiv - source

17

Russian troops launched at least seven strikes on Kyiv early this morning. Local publics report this, noting that the air raid alert was announced after the arrivals.

Explosions occurred in the left bank part of the Ukrainian capital. Presumably, Russian troops attacked with Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles. Strategically important military infrastructure for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and, possibly, the AN/MPQ-53/65A radar of the Patriot PAC-3MSE complex came under attack.



This is indirectly evidenced by the fact that the air raid alarm in the city was activated after the target was hit. In particular, this is indicated by the terminal section of the trajectory, which runs at angles of more than 73 degrees (outside the elevation sector of the MPQ-53/65 radar). This also indicates the absence of other radar systems at neighboring positions that are on duty and capable of tracking complex ballistic targets.

Explosions last night occurred in Snigirevka, Nikolaev region, Kherson, Odessa, Nikolaev, Kirovograd and Kharkov regions. Overnight, about 45 Geranium attack drones were launched into Ukraine.

        But you don’t want to listen to early Konashenkov, where it was said that all aviation and air defense of Ukraine were destroyed in the first hours of the special operation.

      They report this all the time. And what else will they declare according to Goebbels’ behests? Sometimes they shot down even more than we launched!

      So they report this after each of our strikes, I wonder what then destroys all their objects, it’s probably the aliens hitting with invisible weapons.

    If they hit the defenseless Patricks, it means Russia is pushing something through the “negotiations” that are simply being uncivilly imposed on us. This means that something is wrong in the Anglo-Saxon world.

    The destroyed infrastructure in the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces should be reflected on the front line, but so far there is no sign of much success in our offensive! request

      Right. It is not clear that they have been constantly bombing for a year and a half. The bridges are standing, the trains are running, the planes are flying, the lights are on, some military enterprises are constantly working!
      It would be better if they hit the fascists more at the LSB, helped our soldiers and moved the front to the west!

    It seems they explained that one Dagger is enough for several patriots? Where is Konashenkov? Without him, nothing is clear. request

    If the air raid alert was announced after the explosions, then it was not Kinzhal, but Iskander.
    They warn about a possible attack by Kinzhal after the MiG 31 takes off. The Americans give them information. And they don’t cancel the air raid alert until Mig lands. Even if he didn't let go of the dagger. The dagger is not visible from a satellite, so you can get on your nerves with it for a long time. Do refueling on the fly. This is real practice. The economic damage to non-brothers amounts to billions of hryvnias. Businesses are stopping.
    And the Iskander launched in the Bryansk region arrives very quickly. The flight is 230 kilometers.
    The Americans detect them too, but the speed is high, the signal does not have time to pass through all authorities.

      They see a flash when a rocket is launched. They don't know where she's going. Therefore, there is alarm throughout Ukraine.
