In May 2023, Russian Ministry of Defense reported that US-made Patriot air defense system was hit by top-tier hypersonic missile. Washington was vague in its remarks on the incident and never gave any precise information on that.
The fact that there is not any news on the combat work of US-supplied Patriot air defense system in Ukraine shows that it was severely damaged by Russian missile and in certainly not present on the battlefield, ex-CIA analyst and expert on national security Larry Johnson said in an interview with online media.
βRemember when we heard about Patriot missile batteries? β¦. You havenβt heard anything about that in months.Β That was send to Ukraine, it got blown upΒ so it appears that what we send has been either destroyed or broken and under repair and certainly not present on the battlefield,β Johnson stressed commenting on the US arms supplies to Kiev.
