Video from last night. https://files.catbox.moe/0gv6my.mp4Two Zircons hit the target one after another in the beginning of the movie, meanwhile burn-out PAC-3 MSE interceptor that failed to shoot them down hits residential buildings, probably damaging the Dormition Cathedral at the ancient Kyiv Pechersk Lavra nearby.The PAC-3 is a hit-to-kill interceptor with minimal explosive warhead (small lethality enhancer). On a miss against a fast, maneuvering Zircon its solid rocket motor burns out rapidly after launch. Without intercept, it follows a high-arcing ballistic trajectory back to Earth.During descent, atmospheric friction/compression heats the missile body, causing glowing plasma, intense fireball appearance, and smoke trail from ablation or burning fragments.

>>537109644>Russia still lostlost what?
>>537109517Cool, can we see the aftermath? Or would that be antisemitic?
>>537109517Where is your xD!!!
>>537109771
>>537109517How much billions did you spend on that wunderwaffe?
>>537109517AAAAHG OH NO THERE ARE MISSILES I BETTER GO STAND OUT ON THE BALCONY AND RECORD IT FOR THE INTERNET
Are those the russian missiles that bombed the UNESCO Orthodox Church?
>>537109517And it's useless, has been useless for decades, yet it's the best they have and it makes them money, so instead of making something actually useful, they build more. Technically, this thing could be semi-useful against actual planes. I have no doubts that it could hit an airliner just fine. But against missiles? Tough fucking luck.
>>537110276As opposed to running to safety? Understandable if this were a one time situation. But for some it's their weekly or daily life. You can't expect them to always react the most prudent way. That's not how a human can live life. So they give up worrying about it for their mental health and just go about their lives as if this is the new normal. And whatever happens, happens.
there's also a video show a direct interception of a zircon by a patriot but of course you're not posting that.
>>537110501Post it, please. I want to see it xD
>>537110363>russian missiles that bombed the UNESCO Orthodox Churchpretty sure that would the patriot AA missiles
>Following last night's massive strikes, President Zelensky briefed Western allies on the performance of Ukraine's air defense systems — which reportedly included expired PAC-3 interceptors.>The briefing comes after reports that malfunctioning Ukrainian missiles caused damage to the historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.Classic xD
Why do ukrainians hate churches so much
>>537110363Patriot missiles bombed the Russian church
>>537110162Russia developed the nuclear-capable 3M22 Zircon primarily as a high-speed anti-ship (aircraft carrier killer) weapon to defeat advanced naval defenses (like Aegis) while also enabling land strikes with using tactical nuclear warheads. Its hypersonic speed and maneuverability suit tactical nuclear delivery against hardened or time-sensitive targets. Using it in Ukraine against top-tier Western systems like Patriot PAC-3 MSE provides valuable real-world combat data on penetration effectiveness. Such data is priceless. Besides Russians use them against high value targets like weapon factories.
>>537109517Shouldn't they have a self destruct feature if it misses the target?
>>537112087PAC-3 (including MSE) does have a self-destruct capability, but it is primarily pre-planned and command-triggered in controlled scenarios like ripple launches where the second missile self-destructs after the first succeeds in tests. In real combat against a fast, maneuvering hypersonic like Zircon, full self-destruct is not guaranteed on a complete miss. It usually never happens judging from Patriot performance vs hypersonics.
>>537110363Hohols detonated their own defense systems there long before the raid even started.They fuck something up and then kvetch. Same thing they've been doing for decades.
>>537109644Not as badly as Israel is going to lose.
>>537109517I want to see this over Tel-Aviv
