How US Patriot defences are reducing ‘unstoppable’ Russian missiles to shrapnel
A Ukrainian colonel revealed authorities were on the brink of evacuating the capital last December due to airstrikes
Very good article. And very powerful statements from the colonel. I hope that our governments can get them the weapons they need which are wasting away in storage.
Slava Ukraini
OMG:
He disclosed that in December Ukrainian authorities had been on the brink of ordering the complete evacuation of Kyiv due to the intensity of Russian airstrikes. “Not many people know this, but Kyiv was on the verge of evacuation,” he said. “There was one battle that, in my opinion, determined the fate of Kyiv and the Russian campaign to destroy our energy sector, when 49 cruise missiles were launched at Kyiv.”
In a desperate 15 minutes on December 16, Ukraine fired dozens of missiles from its Soviet-era S-300, American Nasams and German Iris-T systems to save the city from total blackout in freezing temperatures.
The other I watched a video about the brand new Russian tank flagship. So badly made it was hilarious.
Putin is making a cardboard army to lure his people into the Great Russia trope. Unfortunately they take the lie.
Mind sharing the link? I'd like something to laugh at on a Monday morning.

Excellent
Shrapnel kills, too.
Shrapnel kills things when a fragmentation warhead explodes at a proper distance from the target. If a missile gets blown up thousands of feet in the air the only way it's hurting anyone is if a large piece falls on their head and brains them.
