    Russia and China confirmed as paper tigers

    The ruzzian hypersonic missile is crap. Ukraine has been able to interdict all of them with an old US Patriot system. Once again I said old, this thread will be about how the ruzzians and the CCP are a fuc*ing joke. Both share military doctrine, both are corrupt, both share military technology.

    2 days ago a Kinzhal destroyed a Patriot battery in Kiev after it shot its load of 32 missiles in quick sucession without success. Paper Tigers all around.

    The loss of the one system alone is estimated at between $500 million to $1.5 billion. Keep paying your taxes. Winning.

    A patriot battery consists of multiple pieces that are spread out, so you are talking bullocks.
    America has spent roughly 6% of their military budget to severely weaken Russia militarily. Money well spent.

    I guess that the ukrainians didn't shoot everything down then.

    I would say that shooting down 6 out of 7 supposedly unhittable missiles can be celebrated.

    I'd say so too.

    Ukrainians said 6 out of 6

    Russians apparently said that they only fired 2.


    I'm afraid someone is lying

    I choose to sit this one out

    Russia doesn't exactly have a track record of telling the truth.

    If the missiles are as great as they say, then why did they do this:

    Russian hypersonic missile scientists arrested on treason charges

    Always but comes down to degree of the lie. Ranges from a slight exageration to complete bollocks. From what I observe, Russia is mostly in the complete bollocks category.

    You really like fiction.

    Of course, Helge swallows the BS.



    No patriot was hit by any missile. It was hit with falling debris, and it is currently fully functional.

    The U.S. Department of Defense has announced that U.S. Army Technicians and Advisors have assisted the Ukrainian Air Force in Repairing a MIM-104 “Patriot” Air Defense System that was Damaged after a Russian Attack using Cruise and Hypersonic Missiles against the Capital of Kyiv on May 16th; the System has reportedly been Fixed and is now “Fully-Back and Operational”.

    Hahahaha:

    "According to the ministry spokesperson : the missile also destroyed 10 leopard 2 tanks, 18 f16's , 2 divisions of special forces, a nuclear submarine , sank one aircraft carrier and damaged 2 others, and added that of the 2 patriots destroyed outside ukraine, 1 was about to be built, so for good measure it also destroyed the designs for the next two generations of launcher."

    Anatomy of MIM-104 Patriot Destruction + Primer on Kh-47M2 Kinzhal Hypersonic Missile

    Maybe a bit of a long article for most here to read , but goes into details of the Russian paper tiger missile tech and details of the Patriot kill. Ukraine now detaining bloggers who filmed the event and turning off the street CCTV cameras.

    I heard that 32 missiles is about 10 % yearly production....

    I reckon I would fire too if a Kinchal came my way

    Lockheed produces about 500 a year, so you're not far off. But, I've seen estimates that Russia only had about 15 Kinzhals, and since they are made with many American electronic components ramping up production seems unlikely.

    I think that includes the production in a new plant

    That seems to be very low output for the whole wide world of Pariots, where Israel and Saudi also lits a few from time to time.

    Yes, and they've fired about 8 or 9 of them. Did you notice I said "had"?

    .

    The CCTV footage clearly shows only a small secondary explosion, not the type of blast that would have resulted from a missile battery exploding. So consistent with being hit by falling debris, not with a direct Kinzhal strike. The article is mostly sensationalist rubbish, but you will continue to push the kremlin propaganda, won't you vatnik?

    I wonder if this is some sleeper account of Sabangs. No recent posting history aside from this thread.

    It would be the largest amphibious invasion since D-Day, into a much less favorable terrain. It is simply not possible for the gangster CCP. They are preoccupied with robbing the country.
