Ukraine accuses its partners of causing the Patriot air defense system to malfunction in Kyiv.

Over the past few hours, Russian forces have been striking a number of targets in Kyiv regime-controlled areas. It is noteworthy that at least two Patriot SAMs, the system used to intercept Russian missiles, missiles – fell almost immediately after being launched at Kyiv's neighborhoods. This is far from the first instance of an abnormal activation of American-made anti-aircraft missile systems.

Moreover, publications have been circulating in Ukraine blaming "partners" for yet another Patriot failure. The posts claim the missiles were "old," delivered from "ammunition depots destined for decommissioning."



Thus, the use of Patriot missiles is turning into an unpredictable "quest" for Ukraine, which could result in significant damage, as happened, for example, last night.

When striking targets in enemy-controlled territories, the Russian Armed Forces used not only UAVs and Zircon missiles, but also X-101 missiles aviation These were the missiles that struck the industrial zone in Brovary, Kyiv Oblast. Iskander-M missiles also caused a stir in Kyiv itself, hitting, among other things, industrial enterprises in the Ukrainian capital.

In addition to Kyiv and the surrounding region, attacks were also recorded in Shostka, Sumy, and the regional capital, Sumy. UAVs and high-explosive aerial bombs from UMPK systems were used against targets in these areas. Similar bombs were used to hit targets near the Oskol River in the eastern Kharkiv region, where Russian ground forces are advancing on enemy positions.

Several FABs with UMPK systems struck enemy logistics in the enemy-controlled part of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast. UAV incursions were recorded in Akkerman, Odesa, Pavlohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, and several other cities.

    Transferring weapons with expired service life to partners is the cheapest method of disposal.

        I meant missiles. But you made such a great point about the Bandar-logs! I hadn't thought of that before.

      The Poles secretly slipped them theirs, and now they themselves are waiting for new ones from the nundos. Yes

    Hmm... Well, judging by the videos from specialized channels, first they hit the launch pad properly, and then shrapnel started flying and the missiles started launching uncontrollably, which, after flying for a while, started falling all over the place...

    Well, let them refuse to receive them if they don't like the missiles; no one is forcing them to take them.

      It's impossible to refuse. There's a Ukrainian maxim: "Take whatever they give you, otherwise, you might get nothing."

      How could they refuse? And who? Bees against honey... In the West, they issue a loan, those who receive it and those who give it receive kickbacks, and they use the money to buy "expired" missiles. Everyone wins! Except for the common Ukrainians...

    They were naive, thinking they'd get new missiles for free. Thank God, we're not that old.

    Fires and explosions have been reported in almost every district of the Ukrainian capital. Local authorities are urging residents to keep windows closed if possible. Heavy smoke and soot have made the air thick and acrid, and smoke has already blanketed the entire capital.

    These anti-missiles should be modified so that they detonate immediately upon launch.

    I wonder if these missiles have self-diagnostics? Or are they completely encapsulated, maintenance-free like car batteries? Can anyone answer that?

    A very effective and efficient strike was dealt against its consequences. Well done, keep it up, there are still many targets.

    An expert article has already appeared on https://topcor.ru/, saying that attacks on Kyiv are nonsense and that Odessa should be targeted.
    SMERSH, how I miss you.

    They dumped all the expired weapons on Ukraine. And now Ukraine is surprised. Although these are such general statements and mean nothing. Every Patriot air defense shell that hits a building in Kyiv automatically becomes Russian, even if the shrapnel says "Made in USA" on it.
