"Most of them are dead!"- Ukraine's army DECIMATED says Col. MacGregor
🇷🇺🇺🇦 About the destruction of the Patriot air defense system in Kyiv
Last night, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed at least one launcher of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system in Kyiv. Rybar's team managed to establish the exact location of the anti-aircraft battery. In total, there were three launchers in the positional area at the Zhuliany airport, where the "Kinzal" hit.
Coordinates: 50.404161, 30.443186
Another place where the work of the Ukrainian air defense was noticed was the vicinity of the Kyiv zoo, where the fragments of the fired missiles fell. The complex itself worked in close proximity to the Kyiv Polytechnic University named after Sikorsky.
Coordinates: 50.452699, 30.459805
As for the airfield "Zhulyany", footage from the surveillance camera got into the Network. In the video, you can clearly see the launches of 32 missiles (a total of 16 for each launcher), as well as the work of barreled anti-aircraft artillery - apparently, the Patriots were covered by the Gepard.
After the ammunition load was used up, an explosion was heard: the Russian "Kinzal" managed to hit the positional area, despite "Patriots" and one "Gepard".
One was destroyed, the second was seriously damaged, but survived. The third launcher escaped damage.
Two installations stood side by side, and the third - behind the building. The Russian "Kinzal" flew between the installations, but closer to the first: there was a detonation of the fuel.
Pieces of the first installation and pieces of soil / asphalt riddled the second.
Why the third installation in Zhuliany was not involved and did not participate in repulsing the strike (or, at least, its launches were not caught on video) is a question to which we have no answer.
If you, your loved ones and relatives have information about the affected objects, enemy movements or any other sensitive information that can help our troops, feel free to write to our bot @rybar_feedback_bot.
We guarantee confidentiality.
Gepard, for the second time failed to cope with the task of covering the air defense position area from Russian weapons.

Strong arrival in the Kharkov region
Watch now (5 sec) | UkroSMI writes that the clap occurred in the city of Bohodukhov. Earlier, Zelensky’s pissboy employee Zhovkva said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not have enough weapons for a “counterattack”. Join Slavyangrad chat. Your opinion matters. https://t.me/+B6ixfOM5VkxhODQx
Continuing the theme of attacks on the Patriot: the video shows that there were two arrivals.
Watch now (28 sec) | And a salvo of 32 air defense missiles FROM ONE POINT demonstrates that the entire battery was in one place and only the radar was a few kilometers away. @polk105 Join Slavyangrad chat. Your opinion matters. https://t.me/+B6ixfOM5VkxhODQx @Slavyangrad

A militant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed during the shooting of the assault on Russian positions near Bakhmut.
