Russia Wipes Out Patriot Air Defense System with Kinzhal Hypersonic Missile

The Russian Ministry of Defense officially confirmed the destruction of the first American-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, and the possibility remains that the sole remaining Patriot battery will be a priority target. The Patriot is considered to be one of the most advanced US air defence systems, including against aircraft as well as cruise and ballistic missiles. It typically includes launchers along with radar and other support vehicles.
