The fact that the interception was carried out by a Ukrainian crew trained in Oklahoma but without American advisers on the battlefield is considered a significant return on investment by the Pentagon.
The United States has no doubts about the truth of Ukraine’s claim that the American Patriot air defense system was successfully used to intercept the Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile and considers this success a significant event. This was reported by CNN, citing its sources.
It was noted that, although the Patriot system has successfully countered ballistic missiles, the ability to stop hypersonic air-launched missiles has only recently been theoretical, and the Kinzhal interception in Ukraine actually demonstrated this ability.
The Pentagon, according to the publication’s interlocutor, considered it an important event. The fact that the interception was carried out by a Ukrainian crew trained in Oklahoma but without American advisers on the battlefield is considered a significant return on investment by the Pentagon.
Recall that the Ukrainian military for the first time managed to shoot down the Russian Kh-47 Kinzhal missile, which the Russians call “hypersonic”.
Before that, the media reported that the Ukrainian military could shoot down a Kinzhal missile for the first time and published photos of some remains. But then the Air Force denied this information.
