Russia tried to destroy the Patriot system near Kiev with the help of "dagger" - CNN

Patriot radar signals, with which air hazards are detected, allow the enemy to determine the coordinates of the SCR. According to the United States, the Russian forces were able to establish the location of the Patriot SCR in the Kiev area. Last week, Russia tried to destroy the Patriot air defense system transferred to Ukraine, for which a hypersonic rocket was used. About it reports CNN with reference to several government sources.

However, the idea of ​​the invaders failed, and instead the Armed Forces intercepted the launched Russian rocket "Dagger", explained US representatives. This is the first confirmed case of successful use of a high -tech American air defense system, which only a few weeks ago was adopted by Ukraine. It is reported that the Ukrainian air forces have released several Patrio missiles from different angles.

This is significant, the US representatives noted, how quickly the Ukrainian armed forces master the complex Western systems. US officials believe that the Russians recorded signals that came from the Patriot installation, which allowed them to send a dagger rocket to the Patriot. Patriot radar signals, which help threats, in turn, give the enemy the opportunity to establish the place where the SCR is located.

There are ways to hide these signals to some extent, but according to the United States, the Russian forces were obviously able to determine the location of the installation in the Kiev area. We will remind that the Secretary of the NSDC Alexei Danilov stated that the destruction of the rocket "dagger" shocked the Russians. It was also reported that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that the US Patriot SCC could not destroy the Russian aerobalist missile "Dagan".
