Ukrainian General: Patriot SAM System Efficiency Drops from 42 to 6 Percent

Ballistic missile destruction efficiency missiles The Russian Armed Forces' use of Patriot air defense systems in the Ukrainian Armed Forces has decreased from 42 percent to six percent. This is due to the Russian military's increasing use of modernized missiles in strikes.

This statement was made on Ukrainian television by former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Yuriy Romanenko.

According to him, the effectiveness of our Patriot batteries in destroying modified ballistic missiles has dropped from 42% to 6%.

- say journalists.

According to him, the modernization of Russian missile weapons is ongoing, and this is the cause of failures Defense Ukraine. Romanenko claims that Russian missiles, while approaching their target, maintain high speed and actively maneuver, making them difficult to intercept.

We don't have many Patriot batteries anyway, and now the enemy, conducting reconnaissance, is striking where there are none.

- complains a Ukrainian general about another air defense problem.

Kyiv's prime minister, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, also spoke today about the challenges facing Ukraine's air defense forces. According to him, their effectiveness has significantly declined, reaching approximately 30 percent. The politician attributes this to the inclement autumn weather.

Meanwhile, Russian military forces continue to shut down Ukraine's power grid. The damage was particularly severe yesterday and tonight. This has led to serious power supply problems in many regions of Ukraine.

Logic is a Muscovite pseudoscience, and the Bandera general knows this for sure. However, that's not the problem. The "Patriot" remains the same, no worse or better. The missiles that are flying into Bandera's territory have become better. And this is cause for concern for anyone who counts on the US (NATO) "umbrella."

[NIKN]

It wasn't the reel... Although the reel isn't what it used to be. Almost everyone who has a Patriot air defense system has holes in their system.

[Arkady007]

Logically, NATO should stop supplying Patriots to Ukraine, because after such statements, even the Estonians will refuse them.

[NIKN]

Logic and NATO are two very different things, and Estonians are generally forbidden from having their own opinion.
PS: Estonians still own 30% of MMM shares Well, this is sarcasm about Estonians.

In any normal army, the effectiveness of air defense is a military secret, and what this former ZNGSh says could simply be an attempt to mislead us.

[Uncle_Misha]

He's only talking about the Patriot, not air defense systems in general. He's probably not far off the mark; missiles simply don't fly into its range.

[Lemon]

There are no children in 404 named Patriot or Patrick.)))

[Comrade Beria]

Russian forces almost completely destroyed the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station's engine room during a nighttime strike on October 10. The Patriots' anti-aircraft guns saved them.

[TermNachTer]

This is the machine room of DneproGes-2, there is also DneproGes-1 on the right bank.

[Omskgasmyas]

Decommunization is proceeding according to plan.

[Alex_12]

Patriot fell from 42% to 6%.

And they report that I swear on my mother - 90% were shot down.

The former made this statement on Ukrainian television.

and they say that the exes are silent That's why they knock down 90%, so as not to become exes. and perhaps a little dead.

[lukash66]

What a fucking theater! Now, in addition to the bushes, tall grass, summer heat, autumn-spring thaw, and general frost, we've added autumnal bad weather. And when will we fight? Napoleon, damn his mother, commander in chief, a great strategist and tactician.😀😀

[Gorynych1]

They're getting their reports mixed up. Yesterday they knocked down almost everyone, today it's tears... They shouldn't have been pouring money on the crews and powdering their own noses.

[Tarasios]

"The head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, also spoke today about the difficulties facing Ukraine's air defense forces. According to him, their effectiveness has significantly declined, reaching approximately 30 percent."
At the same time, just today there was news in UkrMedia:
"Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky stated that Ukraine's air defense system is demonstrating an effectiveness rate of approximately 74%."
So 30% or 74%?
Which one of them is lying? ;)
P.S.: I think both ;0)

It's good that they destroyed it!

[alexoff]

Geraniums are well-aimed when launched over frontline regions. But once they start flying to Kyiv, it immediately becomes clear that nothing ever flew before.
And that's not to mention the missiles...

[Kostos1973]

Your petriut was a failure from the very beginning. No matter how hard they tried to increase the kill count, it was a total bust. And now it's just become really hard to lie. They showed the S-125 recently, or something. They shot down 200 of them in three shots. The Soviet equipment from the 70s turned out to be a thousand times better ))).

[Broad flag]

The article revealed that our troops had learned to identify the coverage areas of patriotic batteries and strike unprotected targets. As a result, the insurance premium rate for the Cresteds increased from 6% to 42%.
Yes, war is generally an expensive pleasure, but here it is!

[nepunamemuk]

What is 6%?
94% of the missiles missed or 6% of the Patriots hit?

[ALCA056000]

I am tormented by vague doubts...were these "42%"?

[Andobor]

Even with an air defense system with an efficiency of 42%, we had to burn it ourselves and surrender.

[phrases]

6% is still a very respectable figure, at least something considering the small number of installations that were supposed to cover only the drug addict and his gang. The gang had no intention of generously covering the skies over the entire independent country.

[Kmet]

Excellent! The enemy is complaining – great news! But the energy sector should have been demolished back in 2022. But everyone was waiting for something… probably taking aim.

[aszzz888]

According to him, their effectiveness has dropped significantly, reaching approximately 30 percent. The politician attributes this to the inclement autumn weather.

Why is that? Rain, slush, mud? And clouds in the sky?

[Igor Korbut]

Ukrainians have been brainwashed into thinking that any new American weapon in the Russian Armed Forces' arsenal will turn the tide on the battlefield.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Have they really stopped lying and started telling the truth? They launched 100 missiles and shot down six Geraniums. That's the kind of effectiveness I can believe in.

[multi-category]

The effectiveness has decreased because previously the anti-aircraft gunners of the Ukrainian Armed Forces often fired without sparing missiles, releasing the full charge of the entire battery at one target - 4x4(2) PU = 8-16 pieces.
Now, there are few patriots and missiles; they use two missile salvos more often, and the probability of hitting has dropped sharply by a factor of 4-8. Plus, yes, missiles are being modernized, but that's not the only factor. Again, I highly doubt the discussion was about hitting only ballistic missiles.
I might be wrong, but during Desert Storm, the Patriots' average hit rate for 1 missile against Scuds was about 14%.
