This was stated on May 19 by a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Yuri Ignat on the air of Radio Liberty. The US CNN Channel, citing Pentagon and Congress representatives on May 18, reported that the Ukrainian military has shot down at least one fighter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Patriot. The hostile aircraft planned to hit rockets for civilian purposes, journalists said. "We have not announced it. Apparently, we need to ask CNN or New York Times.
When we knock down something, we announce it on the page. We didn't announce it, so someone else will announce it," Gnat informed. The Command of the Air Force of Ukraine reflects the number of destroyed aircraft or winged missiles in the infographic, the military added. The Patriot air defense systems, according to him, proved efficiency in Ukraine and watched Western partners.
We will remind that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on May 16 declared the alleged "destruction" of the Patriot in Kiev with the complex "dagger". Hnat replied that one "dagger" rocket would not be able to destroy Patriot. The work of the Patriot complex is provided by eight starting installations, the command point and other elements, the Air Force spokesman noted. On May 18, the Pentagon announced a complete restoration of Patriot air defense system.
