  1. I read today that the Kinzhal is only capable of one third of the velocity the Russians had previously claimed, according to an article in The Economist. So that would be around 1100 ms or around 3.4 Mach. The publication got official access to a Ukrainian Patriot operator. This makes sense, and might have fed into the US decision to donate it to UKR. Ukraine had plenty of prior radar data on Kinzhal from over the last year to share with Patriot operators in the West, and of course with Raytheon.

  2. Best YT vid I have seen for a long time bravo Ryan. Patriot - its best asset is also its greatest disadvantage - that super powered radar, MPQ-65 has twice the power of the older unit I believe.
