Former adviser to the US Department of Defense about the strike on the Patriot air defense system in Kyiv: “I am sure that we lost our military there”

As a result of a recent strike by a hypersonic missile "Dagger" of the RF Armed Forces on the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system in Kyiv, servicemen of the American army could die. Such a result of the Russian attack was suggested by the former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense, retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor, who gave an interview to the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

The analyst does not rule out that the maintenance of the complex hit by a Russian missile could be carried out by American military personnel. Although officially this, of course, was not advertised, but there is a very high probability that it was so. To maintain such complex air defense systems, a lot of experience is required, which Ukrainian military personnel could not get at short-term courses. It is likely that the calculations of the air defense system could indeed include American military personnel - either retired or even active.

If a Patriot battery is destroyed in the vicinity of Kyiv, which actually happened, then the nearby personnel will also be eliminated. I'm sure we lost our military there

Douglas McGregor said.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, as a result of the Russian missile strike, five launchers and a Patriot air defense radar were destroyed. The Ukrainian command for a long time tried to hide the very fact of the strike on the air defense system, but then even the Pentagon recognized the strike, but stated that the launcher was allegedly only damaged and had already allegedly been repaired, with American help, of course.

As for the likelihood of the death of the American military as a result of a strike on the Patriot, the citizens of the United States must understand: the more their country integrates into the armed conflict in Ukraine, the greater will be the human losses of the American side.

Meanwhile, on the border with Poland, the Polish border guards removed the Ukrainian border guards from the checkpoints and announced to the local public that the Lviv region is Poland.

The United States supplied the Armed Forces of Ukraine with one Patriot battery pack, and Germany supplied the Armed Forces with another of the same set. Therefore, the military specialists of these countries are at the complexes. And naturally they die with them.
The United States apparently promptly put in / on the guidance radar from the presence and a certain number of launchers, stating that "the complex has already been repaired."
Well, repetition is the mother of learning.

[Silver99]

The fact that the United States lost the military is putting it mildly, the installation serves up to a hundred people, I don’t think that the radar operators were banderlogs, in addition to complex control, this air defense system is also tied to early warning aircraft and intelligence from space, the loss of personnel is indirectly confirmed by the suspension of the use of "patriots" , The United States perceives the death of its advisers very painfully, they do not feel sorry for the local natives in the trenches, but they are kind to their own. Today there was information that the United States gave the go-ahead for the supply of F-16s to Ukraine, it's time to fill their faces, because. with the supply of aircraft, maintenance specialists from the United States will also arrive, having now received some agility from them to decrease.

[Orange Bigg]

It is quite possible to destroy the Patriot air defense system with subsonic weapons, loading the system with the same false targets.

“There was a massive attack by cruise missiles. At the same time, it must be understood that the Patriot complex can simultaneously accompany no more than six targets. That is, ten cruise missiles are flying, six of them he can shoot down, and four will reach their targets. And so it happened. Patriot worked on six targets, most likely on false ones. At the same time, it is clear that cruise missiles flew over and hit those objects that were supposed to hit, ”the analyst noted.

He added that the high intensity of the anti-aircraft battle led to the fact that the radiation stations of the complex worked for an unacceptably long time.

https://www.politnavigator.net/ehkspert-rasskazal-kak-rossijjskie-rakety-obkhodyat-zapadnuyu-pvo.html

It was not difficult to visit a working air defense radar station. So the Dagger arrived.

[Diger]

Quote from Orange Bigg

The Patriot can track up to six targets at a time.

Well, it's not worth it...
Even the relatively ancient AN / MPQ-53 with the MSQ-104 control station is able to track more than 100 potential targets and direct missiles (hit) up to 9 of them.

it is able to track more than 100 potential targets and to engage up to 9 of them.

and 65 is GaN-Based AESA (GaN AFAR)
The station provides almost simultaneous detection, identification and tracking of 90 to 125 air objects. How many missiles they can direct they do not ipshut, but obviously not less than 9 (I can assume up to 15)
The AN / MPQ-65 radar is mounted on a two-axle semi-trailer weighing 15 tons and is transported by an M818 tractor.
Wavelength range 4-6 GHz

Range of hitting the target with a probability of 0,9
with EPR 0,1m2 is 60-70 km,
for a rocket with an EPR of 0,5m2 in the range of 80-100 km,
for a fighter with EPR 1,5m2: 110-130 km
for a bomber with an EPR of 10m2 - 160-180 km.
Detection time 8-10 s.

The 92H6E multifunctional radar is a high-potential 3-coordinate monopulse station with a phased antenna array of a feed-through type with a diverse set of signals. MRLS has the possibility of simultaneous route tracking up to 100 targets and accurate tracking up to 6 targets under all combat conditions.

[Iris]

Are you familiar with the materials of the interrogations of an American lieutenant general and a Canadian marshal captured in Mariupol? Then even the pictures were shown, and once - the video. True, nothing is visible on the video, but what comments there were!

[terms]

This, in principle, is good - if the F-16s appear in the air, then many of them will still not be delivered on the scale necessary for serious success. But to study these cars with locators and practice shooting them down will definitely give a lot of information and experience.

[antivirus]

The loss of several billion in the search for ways to counter hypersound is justified.
Russia is a little sad, the Chinese - yes, they have hypers and 1,5 billion + fleet + memory for 3 thousand years and the last 80 years (the last 1123 Chinese warning).
Against China, it is necessary to find a countermeasure to hypersound + all their challenges.
320 missiles will be spent. Justified for the USA.

[Orange Bigg]

What is justified if neither 32 nor 320 missiles help against a hypersonic missile, even one?

[El Barto]

This is not about hypersound. Above any air defense system of the same category as the Patriot there is a kind of "funnel" of the dead zone, which it does not cover. These dead zones should cover other air defense systems. Therefore, a single complex is actually defenseless from a strike from above. What is a hypersonic missile, what is a conventional Iskander type.
And here they have a dilemma - they cannot mass the air defense and create a unified air defense system of different levels for two reasons:
1. The concentration of air defense systems will easily lead to its mass destruction (we can, because we have a unified air defense system), so they dispersed their air defense and actually acted from ambushes.
2. Own air defense systems available to Ukraine to a large extent (most of them) were destroyed last year. NATO itself does not have air defense systems in the amount necessary to give them to the hohls and "close the sky" over Ukraine (in general, in terms of air defense, they rely more on aviation, and not on air defense systems) Basically, their air defense systems are either outright junk or advertised novelties, seriously inferior even to the old Soviet systems, and secondly, there are not many of them. Not even for myself. Of course, they will give something, but this is enough only for focal air defense, and not a single system

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Correctly written! Even in the USA they don't have such a layered air defense system as we have around Moscow. They cover only certain important objects in small numbers. One Chinese ball was worth what, the whole world was sleeping for several days)))
And then, the cost of air defense is always very high, who will give Ukrainians air defense worth a trillion bucks? The West does not need it at all. Their goal is to create a new 58th parallel and continue to pull us out with sanctions and sabotage. We still have to go to the end in this war. And you will have to destroy the fifth column, which stirs up its affairs on a common grief ...

[El Barto]

Well, there is nothing to be particularly happy about. Yes, everything is bad with missile defense, but even the existing focal object air defense hohlov and the saturation of the troops with low-level air defense systems (military air defense systems, MANPADS) create serious problems for our unfortunately small aviation. All the same, we do not have thousands of aircraft.
As a matter of fact, hohls are begging F-16s from NATO precisely for the organization of air defense, and not as strike aircraft or fighters

[Mikhail Ivanov]

What is justified if neither 32 nor 320 missiles will help in any way against a hypersonic missile, even one? That is, that these 32 missiles exist, that they do not exist, and the result of the air defense operation is the same, zero.

So in the evening they gave the news - because of the blow of the Russian Dagger to the Patriot, he would have to be moved! MOVE! And it is better to bury or send to Antarctica.
Think about it, they sell it for billions of dollars, and they immediately smashed it with one blow. By the way, not five launchers were destroyed there, but two. And there were only three of them, the third was standing behind the house, so it remained intact. And now decided to hide
I wonder who will buy it from them now in this situation?
And one more important point, they really did not want to pass it on, but they really wanted to try to shoot down the Dagger, and they gave it only for this. Now they sit and scratch not only their turnips, but also their asses - because Russian pendal, it hurts!

[Normann]

the Chinese - yes, they have hyperz

Who has ever used it?

[Poplar]

Tests in the conditions of real combat operations are fraught not only with large financial costs, but also with the loss of specialists, for the training of which a lot of not only money, but also time was spent. So I think you are wrong, which is justified. It is more justified to direct these billions to create your own hypersound, and then try to solve the problem at the training ground. But, it’s true, mattress covers are not very successful yet, despite the presence of billions and even trillions.

[kill the fascist]

It is quite possible that the command of the crews was carried out, if not by pendos dances, then by some kind of NATO.

[Ryaruav]

yes, pepper is clear, at least a couple of Yankees were there, of course I would like a battalion

"It must be understood that the increase in the speed of missiles itself does not have significant unpleasant consequences," he said. "Any hypersonic target can fly to the target at its maximum speed only at high altitude, and as it approaches the object, it descends, enters the atmosphere and loses speed.There are other nuances that I will not delve into.—In short, any hypersonic missile, both existing and potentially created in the foreseeable future— we can do it" https://inosmi.ru/20210826/250384250.html

Have you read an article on this site where the Israelis said in plain text that the Iron Dome will not help against Russian missiles, since these are not Palestinian MLRS missiles made in a garage to shoot down? Google what is the Iron Dome and what purposes it is intended to destroy. Do you think that the Israelis just buy the same Patriot and create their own Hetz-2, Hetz-3 missile defense system?

The Ukrainian regime was told another unpleasant news for it - even the Israeli-made Iron Dome air and missile defense system will not help protect the country's airspace. Jon's military expert Jeremy Bob writes about this in The Jerusalem Post. According to the analyst, the Russian army is not Palestinian militants with their makeshift missiles. The RF Armed Forces have sophisticated missiles capable of bypassing missile defense systems. Therefore, the transfer of the Iron Dome missile defense system to Ukraine would be a useless decision due to the capabilities of Russian missiles that previously hit the Patriot air defense system.
