"I find it inconceivable that the US instructors who are with the batteries would not tell Pentagon the full story."

-The US claims they are back in operation apparently but Will Schryver has some interesting notes:


"🤔There have been unconfirmed rumors swirling since yesterday that the remaining Patriot battery in Ukraine is to be (or already has been) evacuated from the country.

IF true, this would not only seem to confirm the Russian MoD's specific claims of the first battery's effective destruction, but also suggests to me the likelihood that the Russians are employing some sort of ECM means that renders the system acutely vulnerable to attack.

Recall that the Pentagon long resisted the political pressure to send Patriot systems to Ukraine. The comparatively easy destruction of the first battery and the resultant damage to US military prestige would seem to explain their reluctance.

As I have long argued, the perception of US military supremacy is the Pentagon's most treasured asset. And now that myth has been appreciably eroded by the apparent humiliation of the supposedly mighty Patriot air defense system in Ukraine."
