American Patriot anti-aircraft systems have downed 15 Russian Kinzhal missiles over Ukraine since 4 May 2023.

Quote: "Patriot is able to down ballistic and aeroballistic missiles such as Kinzhal. The first [supposedly] ‘unrivalled’ Kinzhal Kh-47 M2 missile was shot down on 4 May. So we started counting on that day.

Then there were six more, then another six, and as of now, we have downed 15 Kinzhal missiles using the Patriot system, which is very good news for us."

Details: Ihnat noted, however, that Ukraine has "few" Patriot systems.

"A few batteries are not enough," he added.

Ihnat also said that Russia has deployed over 7,500 missiles of all types against Ukraine during its full-scale war.
