USA TODAY – Moscow claimed it used a hypersonic Kinzhal missile − named after the Russian word for “dagger” − to destroy the system during an overnight strike earlier this week. U.S. inspectors determined the damage to the Patriot system was minimal and it remains operational, CNN reported. “Do not worry about the fate of the Patriot,” Ukrainian air force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat said. “From a technical point of view, Patriot is a complex, a battery, a division, a system. To destroy the system with some kind of ‘dagger’ – well, it’s impossible. “Everything that (the Russians) say there, let it remain in their propaganda archive.”
