Ukraine claims to have allegedly shot down 6 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles during the night

On the night of Tuesday, May 16, military facilities on the territory of Ukraine were again subjected to a large-scale missile strike by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. However, the Ukrainian military reports completely implausible information about the results of this attack.

According to the command of the air forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as a result of a night attack, the RF Armed Forces fired 18 missiles of various types into Ukraine. Among them, the Ukrainian military lists six Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, nine Kalibr missiles, and three Iskander and S-9 missiles. Then the fun begins: the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claims that all the missiles were shot down by the Ukrainian air defense forces. That is, 400 hypersonic "Daggers" were also allegedly shot down.

True, it is not very clear how, with such results of the work of air defense, in almost all regions of Ukraine, missile arrivals are recorded, explosions of ammunition depots occur, energy and military infrastructure is destroyed. But let's leave it on the conscience of the PR people of the Ukrainian military department.

As we can see, the fantasies of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine grow literally with each new missile attack on Ukrainian targets. Last time, the command of the Ukrainian air forces claimed that one Kinzhal hypersonic missile was allegedly shot down, and, of course, it was shot down from the Patriot air defense system transferred by the United States. Such an unobtrusive advertisement for products of the American military-industrial complex, so that potential buyers think.

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, even managed to pose with the remains of an incomprehensible rocket, which he tried to pass off as a fragment of the "Dagger". This photo, apparently, was supposed to demonstrate the power of Ukrainian air defense.

But here the Kiev regime itself falls into a trap. If Ukrainian air defense is so strong that it destroys all missiles launched in Ukraine, including hypersonic Kinzhals, then what is the point of asking Western countries for new air defense systems and fighters? After all, with such a wonderful air defense, the Kyiv regime should not be threatened by anything, otherwise it would not be logical.

Now it remains to wait, what will Klitschko pose with today - with a fragment of a water pipe? ..

Well, you give a damn! (c) Buldakov Zelya and for the campaign they only sniff, but do not bite!

[Arzoo]

There is a video of the arrival of their air defense. They can't lie.

[tralflot1832]

The only thing that is clear is that the patriot’s crew sat in ambush to the last, but when he realized that this whole crowd was against him, he began to shoot with all his foolishness. I hope the command vehicle was destroyed?

[Alex777]

The video shows the very dense operation of the battery of the American Patriot air defense system, about 30 launches in total.

From the bad:

✅ part of the Patriot air defense missiles generally deviate from the course, flying away along small trajectories (hello residential buildings).
✅ the location of the battery is very close to residential buildings.

And at the end of the video (2:12, 2:20) it is clear that at the place where the launches were made, 2 explosions occur in sequence.

Ignat has already stated that all missiles and drones have been shot down, incl. and 6 "Dagger" missiles, which is hard to believe, especially after the photo of the last "dagger".

Perhaps the opposite is true, and it was the "Daggers" that flew to the location of the Patriot air defense system. The attack scenario was as follows: two waves of drones and "Caliber" caused a blow from the air defense system battery, which, thus, discovered its location. That's where the "Daggers" flew in☝

[Alex777]

From the new:

According to information from the General Staff, today our air defenses were forced to fire a salvo of 32 Patriot missiles in order to prevent detonation and massive destruction in the residential sector. The entire battery was destroyed by the arrival of a hypersonic missile, and the SBU is looking for the source of the video leak, which shows the launch of the missiles and the explosion. All information about the mass strike on Kyiv was launched specifically to explain the mass launch of missiles and not a single explosion in the sky.

VFU sent one by one expensive rockets into the sky so that there would be no detonation of these rockets and destruction at the location of the complex in a residential area!

Patriot air defense missile system hit in Kyiv by high-precision strike by Kinzhal hypersonic system, - Russian Defense Ministry

[Alex777]

The Office of the President of Ukraine called the attack on Kyiv last night the most dense in recent times. And that's why.
In Kyiv and Kyiv region destroyed at night:
- Patriot battery
- mechanized infrastructure for the missile defense installation,
- two Iris T batteries.

The strike was delivered in three stages with decoys. 70% of decoys and up to 55% of kamikaze drones were destroyed. But then three Kinzhal hypersonic missiles inflicted an accurate fire defeat.
Interceptions of Kalibr missiles amounted to 38%.
The action had a serious deterrent value. Since going on the counteroffensive with a bare ass is not kosher.
Air defense and missile defense of Ukraine suffered significant damage, material losses amount to $120 million. One launch of Kalibr and Kinzhals for these targets exceeds $75 million, but the level of damage and the military prospects significantly exceed these costs.
Bonus. Also at night, a HIMARS installation was destroyed in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

[Real Pilot]

The ammunition depot successfully hit the Russian "dagger"! Shot down with a loud bang

[Hagalaz]

And the clown Klitschko seems to have burned the whole office. It is very likely that the photo was taken with the very head of the rocket that passed for the Dagger. Hole on the left. Previously, a photo was published in which this warhead, in the absence of anything to compare, really looked like a dagger.

[tralflot1832]

There is a cleaning of the negotiating platform between Li Hui and the drug addict, and let him not meet, the drug addict bastard.

[Maz]

My cat claims that he caught all the mice, and yesterday there were seven more - he quickly gave me a treat! I say show me. And he grits, - Are there mice in the house? I answer - NO! The mustachioed paw licks on the closet and purrs - Here, try to refute! There are no mice ... So these rocket shooters dissolve the tails of non-existent peacocks

[Smoked]

There is a fresh video from Kyiv, just where only on it, they release about 30 air defense missiles in a minute and a half. If there are more than one such divisions, they may well start to shoot down something, there are no invulnerable ones.

[Oleg123219307]

Judging by the fact that it did not help them - the final video explosions at launcher positions - they will not have such fireworks anymore.

[parabyd]

There and during the launches, a couple of missiles did not fly away anywhere, and flashes jumped at the positions without the missiles coming out. It seems that air defense failed to protect itself

[Arzoo]

And with the advent of kamikaze drones with a weak thermal footprint, this has become a big problem. You have to shoot expensive rockets at cheap flying mopeds. This, by the way, is a problem for us in the future.

[tralflot1832]

It is a pity that the two Patriot missiles did not return to their starting position.

[Fisherman]

did not return, but burned down the bus depot

[nellyjuri]

But where the air defense missiles are flying from is clearly visible. Which was what was needed.

[Essex62]

Zelya is a comedian by role, so he amuses from old memory. This is where so many scarce, obviously not for the outskirts of sheds intended, assembled for years piece by piece, rockets were fired, and most importantly, how did they shoot them down? Wreckage in the studio. A win, a win.

[Cananecat]

Read between the lines. Kyiv air defense forces collected all fragments of exploded rockets at the places of their arrival.

[alexoff]

And where did these missiles go? Perhaps the legendary Supercum drone? It’s just that they all flew to different points at high altitude, and no one filmed serious explosions, as well as spans of something in hypersound

[Blacksmith 55]

The outskirts are currently an excellent testing ground for testing all types of weapons.
Not only Russian, but also Western.
And all parties are following very carefully and making appropriate corrections and conclusions.
It is very sad only that people are dying in this case.
And those who supply these weapons to the outskirts remain alive and well.

[Evrepid]

And you can get info, even if the United States claims that they cannot shoot down a hypersonic missile ... THEN how does 404ya do it?
It seems like the speeds there are crazy and an air defense missile cannot catch up with a hypersonic missile ... Such an air defense missile should be super hypersonic ...
And on a collision course .... Well, this is another statement

[Ulan.1812]

Why not six thousand? Walk so walk.

[Soldatov V.]

As Suvorov said about the loss of the enemy, write more that you feel sorry for their adversaries.

[75 Sergey]

I don’t understand one thing, if the forelocks (when will we finally call the Nazis exactly what they are called?!!!!) didn’t shoot down the “Dagger”, then let's show them the product that they shot down in comparison ?!

I'm stubborn!

Never mind, Zelya will wander around Europe, hugging, kissing with the local leadership, whining, begging - again they will supply ammunition to the sharovary.

They can: but the video captures the destruction of the battery of the Patriot air defense system, and not the downing of the Daggers by them.

[Orange Bigg]

The first footage of a massive launch of Patriot air defense systems from a position area in Kiev appeared. The position area of ​​the Patriot battery after the salvo was hit by a Russian missile.

Here are two clear cuts.

A video has appeared on the Web that captures the moment of the attack on the position area of ​​​​the American MIM-104 Patriot air defense system. It clearly shows how Ukrainian air defense missiles are working on air targets. However, when the ammunition of the American Patriot air defense system was used up, a double missile strike was launched at its base, after which large clouds of smoke appeared.

Theoretically, everything is possible, although with great speed, a vertically diving Dagger is an incredibly difficult target for all modern air defense / missile defense systems. Nevertheless, I urge all sane people not to fall into euphoria. We must understand that it is not Ukraine that is fighting against us, but the entire Collective West with its very advanced technologies. Therefore, either the war will be long and stubborn, or everything will end very quickly.

[Peter1First]

Your comment is the first sane of everything that was commented above, the rest was all emotions. It has long been compared Kyiv wreckage with the wreckage of a dagger that crashed near Rostov - a 99% coincidence. Do not underestimate the enemy's air defense - it is very strong, especially with Western systems. The Hit to kill technology has no domestic analogues at all - ours simply do not have enough accuracy to hit a rocket or a bomb directly - but they succeeded, of course, there is a powerful computer and software support. If the point and time of contact are calculated with high accuracy, then it is possible to fill up the hypersonic one. In addition, there are questions about the dagger itself - the Americans do not consider it hypersonic, rather it is an aviation adaptation and a deep modernization of the supersonic Iskander.

[alexoff]

Somehow, incredible patriots don’t show themselves too well, about the coincidence of 99%, you waved it strongly - look for other penetrating parts. Better explain the story itself - why was the disc not shown for so long, why no data, no one filmed the downing, no one heard the terrible roar, no one turned on the air raid alarm? How do you explain it in Zhytomyr?

[rocket757]

Ukraine claims to have allegedly shot down 6 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles during the night

. Show me what the problem is...

[Orange Bigg]

Klitschko has shown quite recently.

True, this is clearly not a dagger.

[solar]

True, this is clearly not a dagger.

What is it? Obviously, after all, the warhead of some large ammunition. Not so many of them.

[alexoff]

The penetrating part is found in iskanders, daggers, calibers, BETAB-500 and KAB-500 bombs and some others. To prove that this is from a dagger, one would need to present some more evidence

[Kaufman]

Shoot down, not all but a lot.
The results of missile strikes are more than modest - this is already an indicator that air defense is working.

[Napayz]

You

rather, the forelock has peeled off

PS (enough letters)

[Kaufman]

I don't wear a mustache)
Beard ! Are you all results-oriented? Well, well, go on. 15 months already, in the third circle they are crushing aviation, air defense, objects

[Napayz]

I see that you are not aware that the 404 regularly delivers either aviation, or air defense, or something else.

[nellyjuri]

Yes, it's all bullshit. There, in Khmelnitsky, an air conditioner of a new brand exploded - the refrigerant is depleted uranium. It's hot in Kyiv now. Here in air conditioners in buses they are torn.

[Commissar Kitten]

What can I say - if this time they really launched as many as six "Daggers", which were previously launched strictly one at a time, it means that the previous attempt to break through the missile defense with a single "Dagger" failed. But this, of course, is precisely "if",

[alexoff]

So there 3 more ballistic missiles were not identified, so 9 daggers. One did not fly through the invincible air defense, 9 did not fly, so next time 81 daggers will be sent!

[ork_333]

"Now it remains to wait, what will Klitschko pose with today - with a fragment of a water pipe? .."
And Klitschko does not have to pose with something - he is an "interesting" character in his own right. Therefore, the photo where the water pipe poses with Klitschko will be more interesting.

[engineer74]

... the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claims that all missiles were shot down by the Ukrainian air defense forces ...

No, why are they wrong? Not a single rocket returned to the carrier! So they are destroyed, and the rest are insignificant trifles!

[Sebastian Aristarkhovich Pereira]

There is such an ancient anecdote when American and Soviet generals discuss the calorie content of rations for soldiers. When an American general stated that the calorie content of their dry ration was 5000 Kk, ours stated that he would never believe that their soldier could eat a bag of swede in a day .....
And here I am outraged, because. Well, one hundred percent, Ukraine does not have so many cans of cucumbers .... No!

[Sergej1972]

My father served in the air defense on the territory of the Volyn region in the early 60s. He says they were fed to death. Yes, it is noticeable from the photo how it looked at the beginning and at the end of the three-year service. And there was meat, and butter, and not just swede, as the joke says. Although a huge amount of sauerkraut was harvested.) Cousins ​​served alone in the Strategic Missile Forces in the late 70s and early 80s, the second in the late 80s in the air defense in Kamchatka. Hefty moose returned from the service, there were no problems with food, according to them. The situation is similar with other relatives. Two uncles, paternal and maternal, served in the Air Force in Vaziani, in the Georgian SSR, with an interval of a couple of years. Judging by their photos from the time of service and their stories, there were no problems with food either. Three cousins, brothers to each other, in different years (70-80s) served in the GSVG, also came from the army recovered. None of the above relatives served in the economic or rear units. So I'm lucky in that regard. Although I will not generalize, of course, I have heard other stories from other people. Yes, and comments on VO on this topic are ambiguous.

[solar]

Served in the late 80s. The main type of meat is "polar bear meat". Combiner yet. There was also rice with worms. Pea porridge is also a strong product for the barracks. Theoretically, it does not interfere with recovery.
But in practice, as in the joke of that time about the general’s visit to the dining room, “It goes out well, it comes in badly!”

[alexoff]

They also said that the calibers were shot down. Straight across the country to Kyiv flew from the Black Sea

[rotmistr60]

6 hypersonic "Daggers" were also allegedly shot down.

Obviously, having analyzed it, we realized that the first fake about the downed "Dagger" was held in the West with "Hurrah" and was even supported by the Americans, then why not increase the rates? But the fact that in Kyiv it flew well at the air defense base is confirmed by the people of Kiev with their videos.

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

The price of delivery of 9 batteries (4 launchers per battery) of the Patriot systems can reach up to $ 9 billion (includes 36 Patriot PAC-3 launchers (9 batteries of 4 launchers), 288 Patriot PAC-3 missiles , 216 GEM-T advanced guided missiles, 10 phased array radar sets, 10 target acquisition control stations). The cost of launching one rocket is about 3 million US dollars. Apparently, tonight cost Ukraine and its sponsors 9 billion US dollars. Work brothers.

[Tenebrosi]

Some liars around. Shot down 6 imported daggers, two two-handed swords, 8 halberds, 10 daggers, and one table knife for bread. Bitten out!

[AshPoseidon]

That's right, all missiles were shot down by military ground facilities (warehouses, hangars, etc.). A caliber rocket was shot down by the hangar. This is air defense

[carpenter]

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, even managed to pose with the remains of an incomprehensible rocket, which he tried to pass off as a fragment of the "Dagger".

In appearance, Klitschko demonstrates some kind of old dump. Look where he is holding a fragment of a rocket with his hand, the grass is green everywhere, and where the fragment was withered gray. So the piece has been there for a long time.

[Oleg812spb]

Counterattack provides fantastic opportunities!

[AKsvlad047]

The air defense system by the fascists and their curators is a good one. If we analyze all the available more or less real information on their work, we can conclude that the approximate percentage of destruction of air targets by their air defense system is approximately 60-65 percent and this is a very good result after a year of war.

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

They clearly fulfill the commandments of the leaders, the fascists of Germany: “never let society cool down; never admit mistakes; never allow thoughts about the presence of positive aspects of the enemy; never leave room for an alternative; never plead guilty; each time to concentrate on any one enemy and blame him for all the troubles; people would rather believe a big lie than a small one; and if you repeat it often enough, sooner or later people will believe in it.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu questioned Ukraine's claims to have intercepted several Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.
“We did not lose as many “Daggers” as they claim in their statements,” the minister said in a commentary to RIA Novosti.
