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?
So the retired colonel states you can't shoot down a ICBM or a hypersonic missile?

Not my words, his. Besides, the MDA can probably shoot down a single ICBM under test conditions but can the same system shoot down multiple reentry vehicles (MRV’s) that most ICBM’s are equipped with today?
I watched the video so I knew whose words they were. MacGregor said "we can't shoot down an ICBM", and I simply disagreed by pointing out we did it 3 years ago.
Understood. And I’ve read that article where the MDA has shot down an ICBM. But again, those were under test conditions and not and ICBM with MRV’s. My point is that this is most likely pro Ukraine propaganda. Could they have shot down some Russian hypersonic missiles? Sure. But this reeks of propaganda IMO. Ukraine has essentially lost this war. But the DC/cabal wants it to continue regardless of what happens to the Ukrainian people because it was their “playground” where they could launder money and create bioweapons. If Ukraine were to capitulate now, all this crap would be made public.
Not with any land-based systems. The best we can do is with the THAAD system, which is good against IRBMs, and is comparable to Standard 3 (which cannot intercept ICBMs). Fully-fledged ICBMs have terminal velocities closer to Mach 25. (The first half of my career was working strategic defense. The Standard 3 kinetic kill warhead is a derivative of a concept first developed at Boeing in the early 1980s. The last ground-based anti-ICBM system was Safeguard, which was canceled in 1969.)
