It was designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, Kinzhal is just an air-launched ballistic missile, so it's more or less exactly what the patriot system was built to intercept.
>patriot shot down a khinzal
it never happened and will never happen
meanwhile tor has no problem shooting down HIMARS after the software update

not even the gay ukrainshit air defense minister believes this one

thats it, youre right! it totally happend fuck, fellow hohol bro, im with you!
Kinozhal was shot down- RIP kinozhal

I love Russians so much bros
they literally never learn or adapt, they're like level 1 dungeon rats
I like the metaphor.
I have this theory that the relentless propaganda of the Soviet era caused it indirectly -- it sort of metastasized into the present-day vatnik cultural disconnection with any objective reality. When you ask what hypothetical evidence could get them to change their mind, their only response is to go full schizo.
They might just be evolving. As much shit as I give vatniks the fact that they even were able to realize they needed discount JDAMs to aid the artillery and that they seem to have at least TRIED to mitigate HIMARs strikes by moving logistics points further away in some cases shows that while slow, and lessons need to be absolutely beaten into them, they CAN somewhat adapt kek.
I see your point and I do agree to some extent, but to me it always feels forced when they do. Take the HIMARS threat you mentioned as an example -- after their logistics got bottlenecked, they moved stockpiles out of range and carried the last 50 km from rail depots in Scooby vans, yet they kept right at the talking points about how HIMARS was a pathetic U.S. wonderwaffle that wouldn't make any difference to the outcome, and that they'd already destroyed 47 of the 16 units that were sent. Like nothing had changed.
From the outside, it always looks to me like their subconscious mind has to sleepwalk them into a better course of action, because they're incapable of voluntarily admitting they could have been wrong.
> What about a Lend-Lease F-16 putting an AMRAAM into a Tu-160?
My own reaction to the idea isn't "laughter" so much as "rock hard erection", but YMMV.
All I want for Christmas is to see every AIM-120 D-Block finally given the chance to fulfill their humble purpose: namely, turning an entire catalogue of Soviet and Russian airframes into tiny bits of scrap suitable for making novelty keychains.
Please, Santa. If not for me, then won't you please spare a thought for all those poor blueballed AMRAAMS who yearn to feel the sunlight on their tailfins as they rush off for a spirited game of tag with panicked Sukhois and MiGs.
It'll make the world a better place.
Seeing one take out a Blackjack would be the ultimate prize.. the checkmate is neat but everyone knows it’s cold vaporware… the Tu 160 is the legacy of when Soviet aircraft design new what the fuck they were doing…
There wasn't enough cope to make it funny, vatniks have been extremely low-energy this year after their winter offensive was barely even noticed. Moskva was still the funniest part of the war.
>vatniks have been extremely low-energy this year after their winter offensive was barely even notice
Kek, forgot they even had one. Like actually, not even joking.
You remember back in January when the RF threw the 155th Marines at prepared defenses in Vuhledar, got hilariously BTFO'd, patched up the ranks with mobiks and then repeated it several times? Apparently that was the mighty Russian Bear awakening from hibernation to advance the front by a few centimeters. Temporarily.

Now that's interesting news indeed, because my normal rule of thumb is to wait for the strident Kremlin denials before assigning higher confidence. You know, like with the Moskva sinking, or the whole "no panic in Balakleiya".

It likely exists but not in the form advertised. I've posted this before but air breathing hypersonic cruise missiles are VERY distinct. They have air intakes similar to ramjets for the scramjet engines, and the nose cone is often very unique to deal with hypersonic flight. They have to be made out of materials that can deal with high friction and temperatures. Even without extensive knowledge looking at something like pic rel you can immediately recognize how different it looks from a regular missile. The wave rider was a Mach 5 demonstrator. Zircon is claimed to be mach 9.
You've never seen a picture of it because Zircon is likely just a updated and faster P-800. If they showed the missile as is out in the open people who know a thing or two would immediately point out it can't possibly operating to the specs they claim. This is why all zircon videos are 240p resolution recorded from far away. Until I see something like this from russia Zircon is vaporware to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_RrFXQViyo
kinzhal is a piece of shit that slows down significantly before hitting target, daddy patriot I KNEEL
may is gonna be a month of cope from turdies, vatnigs and cumchuggers
Only thing funnier would be Patriot shooting down a "Zircon"
Funnier thing is it never happened
Why do you think it didn't?
It was designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, Kinzhal is just an air-launched ballistic missile, so it's more or less exactly what the patriot system was built to intercept.
It was Starsteak, not Patriot. Say I’m sorry Starstreak.
I heard this too. It’s classified tho so no source
>t. Knower
I'm sorry Starstreak.
>It never happened because... BECAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T OKAY??
moron
May i see a reputable source to back up this claim
Ukraine said this iirc
Then again Ukraine isn’t a reliable source
Ukraine gave evidence. US confirmed it.
Is it just me or is Armatard more unhinged than usual? Looks like the one-tank Victory Day parade in Moscow caused him to have another episode.

What about a Patriot shooting down one of the very few Su-57 Flatfucks?
What about a Lend-Lease F-16 putting an AMRAAM into a Tu-160?
That would be hilarious.

god i would love to see that.
I wanna see lend lease f16s blow up russia's entire strategic bomber wing. Seriously USA would be king of the world if that happened

Sorry, we didn't know it was too fast to hit
for me it was destroying kalibr with manpads

The Russians had a winter offensive? When?

Don't waste (you)s on the gay lol. The pentagon confirmed it today and the Kremlin to my knowledge has been REAL quiet since it happened lol.

If I've learned anything about life it's that it can always get funnier.
No proof
nah the blowjob grenade drop is definitely the funniest thing to come out of this
The laughter has barely started. You have no idea how funny things can get.
