Ukrainian warriors are fighting for their lives, their wives, their sons, their daughters, their mothers, their fathers, their land, and their freedom.
Russian “soldiers” have no clue what they’re fighting for. And that’s why Russia is losing.
Slava Ukraini!!! 🇺🇦 🇺🇲
@PZ20JacobCouttsRogue Russian troll. If Zelenskyy is the “bully”, then I guess you are the king of England, right?
@Dante war We installed a democracy and left. Putin keeps what he steals.
Slava Ukraine (blackout)
Looks like the bull went pottie on you again.
@Ortho-G So you acknowledge you have nothing intelligent to say. We assume Putin supporters are rather slow.
STOP calling air defense of the capital Kiev “on the offensive”. JESUS!
It’s disappointing that nobody moved to secure that airspace. Now Ukraine will have the Patriot system to assist with that
It’s the most advanced air defense system on the planet. You can barely hit civilian targets I think it’ll be fine.
Heard about in Saudi. Lol
No air defense system is the best, If they fired 200 missiles at once I doubt a few dozen batteries are going to stop them.
It might take dozens of people but it only takes three to use it in battle
Instead of Patriot missiles why not just send Ukraine the proper tools to destroy the drones at source.
if Ukraine is quite on the matter, it is likely they are building something behind the scenes to counter it and could be just having backstage deals to get components in. Patriots aren’t really for the drone, it is for ballistic missiles or bigger, such as ICBMs and warheads (might be from NK)
I hope and pray that Kremlin will soon be a good target for the Ukrainian army…
SLAVA UKRAINE❤️🙏❤️🙏
3-5 million per patriot missile makes it impractical to use it to target drones.
Be a good deterrent against high altitude bombers though.
Who said that they will be used for drones, since the Ukrainians can take down the drones , even with bullets , or other systems ?????????
@Scott Hunt Yeah, an ammunition based system like Rheinmetall Skynex or Skyranger would be far more practical, if only Switzerland would get on board and supply the ammunition.
@Joe tuktyyuktuk they have like 50k rounds? Luckily these Gepard are very efficient on the 30mm and can drop a drone with dozen rounds…
It’s US tax dollars buying the weapons so Zelensky doesn’t care.
A Patriot missile seems to big to take down a little drone that fly’s about 100 mph!!!
More BS.
Well see revenge! Well Ukrainian should do revenge for every city that is destroyed and for every child was killed and for all those creatures have done.
U.S. should consider let volunteers retired from army to come and train Ukraine soldiers.
Better late than never. Still there is hope for ukranians to protect their important facilities from missiles and drones attack. I hope NATO will help too.
Remember when so many people were afraid of going toe to toe with Russia? 🤣🤣🤣
*russia laughing in hypersonic*
@The HardTruth russia loses on all fronts lost its military power diplomatic power economic power and general global standing whereas nato is bigger stronger has the upper hand on russia and is going yo easily recover the global oil markets once russia starts begging for micro chip semi conductors minerals and products to sell, you watch as russia either collapses or starts begging
@Fish Lives Matter nukes. The only thing stopping NATO from curb stomping you out of existence is Putin will cry and push the button.
@Fish Lives Matterats what war does. But people of the world will help rebuild Ukraine. Russia won’t get any help to rebuild their broken country and destroyed egos.
@Fish Lives Matter you keep repeating that and maybe you will believe in it
Imagine starting a war and then being upset when the other side attacks you.
The world should know and be aware that the Islamic Republic sends Russia various types of weapons that are used to destroy humanity.

What are you sniffing? On second thought, I don’t want to know.
“За Рязань”, не убедительно товарищи украинцы. Это как с ракетой ВСУ в Краматорске.
P. S. У меня на сарае написано huy, а у меня там дрова лежат…
The Patriots should only be used for Russian Cruise Missiles which are a greater threat and can travel much faster than the Iranian made Drones, 20mm or 30mm AA Guns can easily take out the Iranian drones since their speed is around 120 mph and are propeller driven.
There aren’t enough of the expensive, large Patriot missiles to use against the many cheap Iranian drones, even though CNN didn’t mention that.
Really does take quite a ‘gymnastic’ sort of mindset to conclude that a missile defence system can escalate a conflict. Which it started.
This missile system sounds amazing. I looked up some specs and holy crap. It seems to be the most advanced one on the planet. Now I wonder how they pick their targets, with each missile being like $2mill.
Now that Russia attacked Kyiv, I wonder if Ukraine has more of those long range drones to hit some actual military targets, rather than apartment buildings the stupid Russians are hitting. When do you think they’ll understand that doesn’t work and it’s a huge war crime. They’ve always done it like that, flattening entire cities, and gotten away with it. This time they’re against the modern, free world, and only a tiny part of it, and they can’t handle it, so they lash out in desperation.
I hope there’s peace soon 😞
i expect another 6 months of fighting until russia is collapsing from the inside
Yea I doubt it.
@Stefan Weilhartner Ya I doubt it, unless the coup and take putin head, nothing short of that will stop this war.
@Stefan Weilhartner it better not happen
9 month the second army of the world cannot capture “Kyiv in three days”, the losses exceeded all the losses of the USSR and Russia after the Second World War, the economy was thrown back 20 years ago and all the consequences are still in the future. Here are the achievements of a great strong leader.
Putin lost the war a long time ago, but some people need time to realize that !
