Patriot missiles shot Down 6 hypersonic missiles?? Really?
🤡 MSM Conspiracy Theory 🤡
Would like some commentary on Ukraine shooting Down not one hypersonic missile but six!! Is the patriot system capable of doing this or is this just hyperbole propaganda? Me thinks this was just a plan by Russia to get Ukraine to use up as many Patriot missiles as possible. Then get a line on where to target to take out the patriot system. Thoughts?
As the missile gets closer and closer to the target, it will have a reverse cone of evasion shrinking as it gets closer to the target in which it can operate while still being able to hit the target.
If the patriot missile system is intercepting at a late stage of the Russian missile's flight ( and since the targets may well be the patriot missile system), then it may increase the odds substantially that the patriot system could intercept the missile in some cases.
That said, I'm convinced the patriot missile system's combat effectiveness has been severely degraded or completely neutralized at this point in the conflict.
I’m definitely more open to the possibility after realizing that these Hypersonic missiles might be carried nearer to their target by a much slower rocket, if that’s the case I’d think it would shift into the realm of possibility
Side note: Great discussion on this subject guys, I’ve learned a lot
I agree with you. Can you hit a Kinzhal with a Patriot? I believe it's possible under the right conditions and you fire off a salvo of them. Is it practical to fire 30 Patriots for 1 or 2 hypersonic missiles? No.
