The media writes that Ukraine has lost the first Patriot PPO: What is known (Photo)

As a result of the impact, two installations of the complex were destroyed, and the crew probably died. This is reported by Forbes. "Reacting more promptly than usual, the crew of the Russian hypersonic missile" Iscander "took the sight and struck a Ukrainian convoy from a distance of hundreds of miles. Two launchers of Patriot exploded, which led to the death of the crew," publications.

It is noted that this is the first time the enemy managed to identify and strike part of the Ukrainian battery Patriot. Moreover, this success is of great importance for the Russians, since recently these air defense remedies have caused significant damage to the Russian Front Aviation, destroying the "about a dozen" of fighter-bombers of the PCS of the Russian Federation.

Further, the observers say that the Ukrainian army has only three Patriot batteries with radars, including from four to eight starting installations. Two batteries and two spare start -ups came from Germany, the United States provided one battery, and the Netherlands - two launchers. Thus, the Armed Forces lost from 7 to 13 percent of the installations depending on the number of their disposal.

Patriot was also reported by the German military observer Julian Ryopke, having published a post on the X network, referring to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Under the footage of the attacks of Russian "Iskander" he wrote in the comments that the event happened 40 km from the front line. "Less than 40 kilometers from the front, Ukraine has placed two Patriot launchers at a distance of less than 10 meters from each other.

At a distance that Russia can release small range ballistic missile and destroy both of them," the journalist wrote. According to him, the Russians could accept Ukrainian equipment for the C-300 complex, but the nature and consequences of the explosion indicate that it was Patriot. On the occasion of the loss of SPR, Ukrainian military Sergey Beskrestnov with the call sign "Flash" on social networks suggested that it preceded the Russian attack.

According to him, in the absence of F-16 fighters, the Ukrainian forces have to deal with the enemy's front aircraft, which has recently been actively using planning aircraft aircraft. Patriot systems were involved for these purposes. But in this case, the question arises as the enemy managed to detect "wandering" complexes, especially 50 kilometers from the front line. Beskrestnov believes that there was no traitor here.

"The fact that the" accidentally "can be seen Petriot 50 km from the UAV front. It should be noted that at the time of publication, Ukrainian official sources did not confirm the destruction of the Patrioot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Meanwhile, former Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar suggested that military information was published for intelligence.

According to her, in a situation with the allegedly destroyed Patriots, the opponent is expecting a public reaction, but any comment on official Kiev works for the enemy. "For example, news of our military facilities, military equipment or weapons. There are some sources of alleged destruction of the Russians, say, Patriot. Confirmation, clarification - works against us.

Therefore, the formula of the answer - we do not confirm, and we do not refute - indicates that the information hook has not been swallowed, " - emphasized the painter. Recall that on February 22, the Pentagon stated that the United States has handed over Patriot air defense systems and various combat vehicles without a long -term service plan, which can lead to problems in the future.
