Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said yesterday that the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to shoot down the Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missile thanks to the American Patriot air defense system.
The portal reports “Military review” .
“The Patriot system, a new powerful air defense system of Ukraine, shot down a Russian Kh-47 hypersonic aeroballistic missile,” the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry made such a loud statement.
He also added that before Ukraine did not have such means to protect against the Russian army, but with the help of the support of American allies, this became possible. In this regard, Reznikov expressed support for countries helping Kiev with military equipment, including air defense systems.
However, it is worth noting that there is still no evidence of the effectiveness of the Patriot air defense system against Russian hypersonic missiles. Accordingly, all such loud statements should not be taken seriously.
The Russian Defense Ministry, by the way, did not comment on this fact.
