[Regnum]> The Russian armed forces hit two Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems at Kiev's Zhulyany airport, a security source said on March 25.
The crew of the complexes included mercenaries from NATO countries, a source told TASS.
“We confirm the defeat of two Patriots in Zhulyany,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
As Regnum reported, Ukrainian media previously reported explosions in Kiev and the Kiev region, including in the area of Zhulyany airport. Information about several explosions in Kiev was also confirmed by the mayor of the city, Vitaliy Klitschko.
Russian military drones are capable of quickly detecting and destroying the best weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, previously noted military columnist for the American publication Forbes David Ax. He said that the Russian Armed Forces use “destruction chain” tactics: UAVs find targets deep behind enemy lines, which are then launched with air or artillery strikes, and noted that recently, using this tactic, the Russian military has destroyed, among other things, anti-aircraft missile systems Patriot and HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems.
Since the beginning of 2024, the Russian military has destroyed four American Abrams tanks, five German Leopards, 27 Bradley armored vehicles, as well as Western-made MLRS and air defense missile launchers in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including five Patriot installations, the Minister of Defense said earlier in March 2024 Sergei Shoigu.
