Russian Troops Begin Using New Tactics To Kill Patriot Systems

Since the beginning of the month, Ukraine has reported rising shootdown of Russian cruise missiles, Geranium 2 kamikaze drones, and even the Kinzhal hypersonic missile, which it claimed was downed by an American Patriot PAC-3 SAM. However, Patriots are limited in numbers, not manufactured in Ukraine, and come from the US-led NATO alliance’s stockpiles. This forebodes a situation where they might be spent if Russia continues striking Ukraine with its expendable missile and drone strikes. The eventual aim is to ‘kill’ the patriot either by a direct hit, what the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles attempted, or by exhausting it to the core.
