US confirms Ukraine downed Russian hypersonic missile with Patriot system
The Ukrainian military downed a Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missile using the US-made Patriot air defense system, the Pentagon’s top spokesman confirmed Tuesday.
"I can confirm that they did down a Russian missile by employing the Patriot missile defense system. As you know, that system is part of a broader range of air defense capabilities that the United States and the international community have provided to Ukraine," said Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder in a press briefing.
However, Ryder declined to say which country supplied the missile battery that shot down the hypersonic missile.
