Destruction of American Patriot system in Russian attack

The Ukrainian news agency UNIAN admitted to the destruction of the American Patriot surface-to-air missile systems by the Russian armed forces by publishing a post on its Telegram channel.

This news agency writes that the location of the attack was determined “almost immediately” and is about 50 kilometers away from the front line. Experts are said to have identified MAN truck cabins that serve as a base for Patriot installations.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a video of the Iskander-M missile hitting Ukrainian equipment near Pokrovsk in the DNR. A source in the security services later said that two US Patriot SAMs were among the air defense systems destroyed in the Iskander strike.
