kyiv would have repelled a Russian air offensive of rare intensity

Russia launched an attack of rare intensity against kyiv (Ukraine) on the night of Monday May 15 to Tuesday May 16. However, the Ukrainian Minister of Defense claims to have countered the majority of the offensives. “Last night our sky defenders shot down six Russian Kinjal hypersonic missiles and 12 other missiles”, he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning. Only a few debris would have fallen on the Ukrainian capital, requiring the intervention of firefighters.

A very advanced American defense system

A success made possible by a very advanced American defense system: the Patriot. Long demanded by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, this technology was delivered last April. The announcement of its delivery prompted an immediate reaction from Vladimir Putin. “The Patriot is a pretty old system. It doesn’t work like our system”, said the Russian president. The Kremlin denies the Ukrainian information and claims to have hit all its targets.
