  1.  @riheg  There were serial identification stamps on lots of parts of that shot down missile, that identified it as a Kinzhal. Manufacturers needs those ID numbers to manufacture any weapons system. It was a Kinzhal, since you don’t know what the inside of any missile looks like how would you even know otherwise? As for US Colonels - they theorise based on the claimed capabilities of Kinzhal, which supposedly reached Mach 10 in the terminal phase. UKR Radar operators have now said Kinzhal was only capable of one third of that speed so Mach 3, now ask those US Colonels what Patriot PAC-3 capability would be against a Mach 3 target.

  2. They shot down another 6 Kinzhal today, that’s how Patriot does its “talking.” Not from some pro Russian dumbo on YouTube.

  3. They shot down another 6 Kinzhal today I know you have hurt feelings about that - do you want some Kleenex?

  4. It doesn’t need to be a scramjet, a ballistic missile just needs to go up high enough to attain high velocity on the way down. So they need to make a better “Kinzhal” that has medium ballistic range but that means a larger missile with more fuel and no MIG is going to be able to carry that missile.

  5. Im more impressed by the spectacular failure of the “unstoppable” Kinzhal - Kyiv shot down another 6 of them today. It turned out Kinzhal was a wet lettuce and slower than one too.

  6. Too risky for the front lines, it’s only semi mobile in truth. They really need more MAMBA systems.

  7.  @allisone369  They only have 2 Patriot batteries. I think 2 or 3 more are in the pipeline. I agree they will have to push them forwards, those emplacements will probably be kept busy defending themselves rather than the troops. MAMBA is far more mobile but they only have one of those - UKR needs equivalent or better systems to replace their S-300s.

  8.  @allisone369  right now they should be getting more armour ie MBTs that is what they are asking for. And of course F-16s. The day is coming when they will be using several hundred M1s.

  9. The blow is because debris hit some buildings. Debris from obliterated Kinzhals.

  10.  @riheg  why do you think that debris was “obviously not from a Kinzhal.” Which components do you believe weren’t part of that design. If you can’t answer that question, your statement is of no value.

  11.  @riheg  no they don’t.
