How The Patriot and Kinzhal Duel in Kyiv's Skies
After the U.S. and Germany's significant move of providing Ukraine with the $1.1 billion PATRIOT system, Ukraine showcased its fortified defense capabilities. On May 16, just outside Kyiv, a Patriot battery expertly detected and neutralized a volley of Russian missiles, including six formidable Kinzhals, launched from approximately 125 miles away. The final missile was halted just 9 miles from its destination. This defense feat was repeated three more times against Kinzhal threats, suggesting Russia's intensified focus on these Patriot defenses. Initially dubbed SAM-D, the PATRIOT (Phased Array Tracking Radar for Intercept on Target) has been an emblem of U.S. allegiance to its allies since its 1980s inception. However, its unique radar frequencies can be pinpointed, making them potential targets for Russia's advanced arsenal. Enter the Kinzhal, or "Dagger", NATO's "Killjoy". This Russian marvel boasts a range up to 1,242 miles, carrying a hefty 1,058-pound payload. Astonishingly, it can reach speeds of Mach 4 and in some instances, zoom up to Mach 10. Despite not consistently holding these remarkable speeds, its nimbleness, combined with unpredictable trajectories, makes it a daunting adversary for any defense system.
