We really don’t know enough about that incident to draw any conclusions from it. Russians said the Patriot was destroyed by their missile, US said it was minor damage from debris and was operational again within 24 hours. I’m sure at some point we’ll know what happened, but not for quite a while.
- celsoazevedo 3y agoUnless the Ukrainians deployed everything in the same area and very close together, I don't see how one or two missiles could destroy a Patriot. Unlike planes or tanks, the system is modular and made of different parts (launchers, radars, etc) that - as far as I understand - are supposed to be spread around.
