Also, it appears that it shot all 30 of its missiles. So, at least the ammo was all used up. 1 Link to comment

commando Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 the patriot system consists of many parts. a command vehicle, radar station, command and fire control, and then some launchers. we don't know which part was hit or if it was damaged or destroyed. if it was a launcher that was totally destroyed.....the battery is still functional minus 1 of it's launchers. 1 Link to comment

When all 30 missiles are used, I'm assuming they are just reloaded by replacing the long rectangular boxes on top? Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Love it when the Russian Disinformation Machine is directly rebuked by not only their hired mercenaries but also Russian citizens. Russians reject Russian claims of gains near Bakhmut The leader of Russian mercenary troops and a popular pro-Kremlin blogger both rejected Russian Defense Ministry claims of gains in the crucial battle for the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut as the war slogs toward its 15-month mark with little indication a conclusion is near. Ukraine's military claimed modest gains in areas north and south of the beleaguered, nearly deserted city that once was home to more than 70,000 people. Russian claims of marginal advances were quickly dismissed by the mercenary Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin, who criticized his defense ministry on Telegram for spinning what was actually a retreat. Russian blogger Rybar agreed, posting on Telegram that Ukraine's "unannounced counteroffensive" is underway with fierce battles that are allowing Ukraine to fulfill an important goal against Russian Federation troops. "They are forcing the RF Armed Forces to stretch their forces and remove the most combat-ready units from other critical areas, forcing them to be transferred to threatened sectors of the front," Rybar posted. "Now, unfortunately, we are in the position of playing along and are following the lead of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, pulling the most experienced units of the RF Armed Forces into the Bakhmut meat grinder. ... What this threatens in the short term, even a fool will guess." Link to comment
