The Ukrainian Air Force has officially stated that several Russian aircraft, downed in May inside Russian territory were destroyed by the American-made Patriot air defense system.
The events that transpired on May 13 involved significant losses for Russian Aerospace forces.
All 5 aircraft crashed in Bryansk Oblast, which is deep within Russian territory and located across from Ukraine’s Chernihiv Oblast in the northeast.
On that day, three Russian Mi-8 helicopters, one Su-34 fighter bomber, and one Su-35S fighter were reportedly lost, with no survivors.
Also, there were reports that the Patriot was used to down several Kinzhal (Dagger) hypersonic & Iskander missiles a few days later.
Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Col. Yuri Ihnat at that time hinted at the use of Patriot but he has now confirmed this.
