The skies over Ukraine have turned into a battleground since the Russian invasion began, with both sides heavily investing in airpower, launching airstrikes, deploying drones, and engaging in aerial combat. Recently, Russia deployed glide bombs, causing daily destruction in Ukrainian cities. Ukraine has struggled to counter these attacks effectively due to its inadequate air defense systems.

This situation has worsened with the destruction of Ukraine's limited number of advanced air defense systems. On July 7, Russia announced that Iskander missiles successfully destroyed two US-made Patriot anti-aircraft launchers near Yuzhne in the Odessa region. The Patriot system is crucial for Ukraine as it represents their most advanced air defense capability.

The loss of these systems raises significant concerns about Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian airpower. How crucial is the Patriot system for Ukraine's defense, and what does this loss mean for Ukraine's future security?

  • @buggyboy1140
    Giving a fancy name to a air defense system, does not indicate it is the best! The Russian air defense system works without a fancy name!
  • @laythhameed3233

  • @BMProvenzano
    Ukraine has already had, and lost, several Patriot systems. You reporting is dis-ingenuous. Thumbs down for deceitfulness.
  • @Nicelooking101-1
    Each patriot system have about 5 - 8 American ( NATO ) soldiers controlling it, that means Ukraine have lost 2 patriot system with 16 NATO soldiers.

    Nonsense! Russia, unlike the Ukrainians, does not target civilians and this is what you imply in the first 15 seconds of the video. You lost me for good.
