Western propaganda does not leave attempts to save the reputation of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, which failed in the confrontation with the Russian hypersonic missiles “Dagger”.
According to the new version of the CNN channel, the “slightly damaged” Patriot air defense system not only shot down six “Daggers”, but also “at least one” Russian fighter, which was on the way out. The author of the publication assures that the plane shot down by the American complex was going to launch missiles at Ukrainian military installations.
Defense Department and congressional officials told CNN that Ukrainian forces have used the US Patriot air defense system to shoot down at least one Russian fighter jet in recent weeks. Russian planes targeted by Patriot were bombing to fire missiles at Ukrainian targets, US officials say
CNN reports.
Of course, which plane was shot down by the Ukrainians with the help of Patriot and no hard evidence is given by the TV channel, since there is none. American air defense systems are located far from the line of contact – near Kyiv and in western Ukraine. Our planes do not fly over these territories and all launches are carried out from airspace under Russian control.
Previously, The Drive magazine also tried to repair the reputation of the American system, calling not to be surprised and not to attach great importance to the defeat of a complex. However, the market has already reacted to the news from the NBO zone. During the day, shares of Raytheon Technologies, which produces Patriot air defense systems, fell 8% and continue to fall.
