MIM-104 Patriot Takes on Russia's Kinzhal in Ukraine: Who Wins?

#shorts Just a few months after the U.S. and Germany equipped Ukraine with the $1.1 billion PATRIOT systems, a unit near Kyiv thwarted 12+ Russian missiles, including the very advanced hypersonic Kinzhals. Ukraine has since repelled three more Kinzhal threats. Russia's clear target: Ukraine's Patriot batteries.

"Actively seeking the Patriot systems to eliminate them"
The Patriot systems, which work better when THEY'RE the target: 👁️ 👄 👁️
Edit: Damn one month and the Russian fanboys are already up my a$$
Edit #2: Seriously Vlad call off your guys already the notifications are starting to annoy me...

a patriot intercepts a kinzhal by taking a hit

[QuantumEcofarm]

The intetcepted missile picture looks like a joke to me 😂.

[-iceraptor-]

Just watching them take off and the stream of smoke is intense. I can't imagine being so close to it when that happens or worse the other end of its travel..

[kbczboq]

Its like claiming a snail beat a rabbit in 100 meters dash...

[pmog]

I wonder who will believe that the Russians will fire 6 Kinzals at one point at once? why not 100 right away?

[SterileNeutrino]

"All were intercepted" if you cannot make the difference between 0 and 6.

Patriot battery do not cost 1.1 billion each. It costs 400 million for the system 4.1 million per missile.

Overall cost patriot system depends on how many battery systems was purchased and how many missiles was purchased. It can cost a lot more than 1.1 billion dollars

[ericp]

Considering the Kinzhal took out the Patriot, I guess khinzal wins?

[LeMoeNade]

Holy shit the patriot cost 1.1 !!!? Damn imagine seeing a few dozen and not even realizing how much money you’re looking at

[geojetson]

How about taking care of OUR veterans and border with that money?

Yes, another story from the same comic book you took the "Ghost of Kiev" out of. If you remember, early in the SMO the Ukrainians floated a story of a legendary Ukrainian pilot ace called "The Ghost of Kiev" who supposedly had shot down a number of Russian SU-25 that week. Well it turns out they took the footage of that from a computer game. The entire story was a complete and amateurish fabrication. There never was any "Ghost of Kiev". This video here appears to be by the same sort of people who floated the "Ghost of Kiev" story.
First of all even the latest iteration of the endless pit of funding that is the Patriot system can not in most cases successfully engage a Kinzhal cruise missile. And here they claim they took out a full nine Kinzhal missiles one after the other in a row. That's simply not in the cards. Even a state of the art Russian S-400 ADS system with a skilled and experienced crew would have their work cut out. This is just more feel-good propaganda that ignores real world facts.

[jerrysanchez]

The cost of these systems are minimal.
Compared to
People that know how to use them.
And their innovativeness.
Which is priceless. Slavia Ukraine❤

[thurumansmith]

Lmao, you use AI generated voiceover with mostly stock footage.

As for the "intercepted missile", thats two different missiles neither of which is a Kinzal. The first one with the hole is too small to a kinzal, looks like FAB 500. The second one is too wide to be a Kinzal.

[jim.c]

Yeah they had to deliver two more because the others got blown up😅😂😅.

[Happy.Viewer]

So, that was the Wrestling Battle between the 2 Dudes Kinzhal and Patriot!? 😮😅🎉😂❤

[XA]

Putin said his missiles could not be stop 😂, he really said that

So many fundraisers and donations for Ukraine, but I'm still waiting for the companies that produce Patriot to donate a few systems to support the Ukraine's war efforts. Or at least sell them at a discount. I mean, we're all trying to support them the best we can, right?...right??
