Americans themselves suggested the tactics of battle: How the Russian "Kinzhal”(Dagger) managed to outwit Patriot
On the night of May 16 the Patriot air defense system, which was presented to Ukraine this year by the U.S. to a great sold-out crowd, worked over Kiev. And which, as the Americans advertise it, is practically all-powerful and invincible. And the Russian Defense Ministry said in the morning that the Patriot was hit by a single Kinzhal missile. Viktor Baranets, a military columnist for KP, told us how it happened:
The main target of the strike was the US Patriot surface-to-air missile system itself. As well as some military-industrial facilities, ammunition depots and fuel bases. By the way, the tactics were "suggested" to us by the Americans themselves. Our "Geranium" drones were ahead of the targets. They were detected by American radars, and thus gave away their positions. They were followed by anti-radar missiles, which destroyed the enemy's radars. And after that, Kalibras and Dagger missiles flew at the already blind Patriot and other targets. We took out one Patriot battery completely. Three more are on the way.
