"Russia scored an important victory for its image," said Rozhin. "It showed that this [Patriot] complex, despite all the PR fuss around it, is quite vulnerable, and if desired, Russia can disable it. (…) And, accordingly, having destroyed one complex, Russia will look for the next ones that are there."
"The Russian Ministry of Defense is in no hurry to disclose how the attack was organized," continued Rozhin. "Apparently, initially there were various drones and missiles that lured the work of enemy air defense systems, including the Patriot, and after a specific area of operation of the Patriot air defense system was identified, it was hit by the Kinzhal hypersonic system. Actually, in the footage published by the bloggers, it is clearly seen that before the missile hit the Patriot position area, apparently, the crew noticed that the target was not some object in Kiev, but themselves. A massive launch of missiles was carried out [by the Patriot], 32 missiles were fired to intercept the Kinzhal, they could not bring it down, and accordingly, the Kinzhal hit the target."
"The Patriot is a system of the past," Rozhin said. "The Patriot must provide air defense due to a large number of missiles, through interaction with other systems, including electronic warfare systems, and AWACS aircraft. They should, by default, shoot down aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. The Patriot PAC-2 and the Patriot PAC-3 are the two main versions currently exploited around the world, in the US and various countries. But even during the war in Yemen, it became clear that even though the PAC-3 was said to be effective against Iranian cruise ballistic missiles, some objects that were covered by these [air defense] complexes were nonetheless hit by Iranian missiles. In this regard, the Patriot remains quite effective against aircraft and missiles of the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s. (…) [However] the Patriot does not have any means of fighting against hypersonic weapons. When this complex was created, there was no such a task," he concluded.
