Ignat refuted claims of the total destruction of the Patriot missile system. On October 9, Russian authorities released a video showing Iskander-M missiles hitting the deployed Patriot combat system near the village of Pashena Balka in Dnipropetrovsk region. The footage shows missiles landing in close proximity to elements of the missile defense system.
The Russian Ministry of Defense states that the strike destroyed the multifunctional radar equipment AN/MPQ-65, as well as the command post AN/MSQ-104 and a reserve launch unit. They also claim that another launch unit and some personnel of the system were affected. However, the video only shows two explosions, and the elements of the missile defense system are located at a considerable distance from each other.
Let us recall, there are significant changes in Kursk region – a lieutenant general shared his forecast and discussed the battles.
