SLG Exclusive - Kiev Patriot battery damaged or destroyed in strike

OK so we got a tip-off from Zornkrieger that a Russian missile attack on the Kiev Patriot battery was captured on livestream.

The livestream has now been pulled but I fortunately managed to screen grab the important bit, which we now present to our dear subscribers. My notes:

There was a very rapid barrage of SAMs launched, I counted 30+, which means the entire loadout of a MIM-104 Patriot battery (8 launchers with 4 missiles each).

In the livestream chat there was what appeared to be a government bot claiming the Patriot battery had destroyed 18 Russian targets including 6 Kinzhals (yeah right)

About 6 minutes later there are a lot of flashes from AAA guns (likely Gepard), then three large explosions caused by strikes on the SAM site.

I assess this to be a successful strike on a Ukrainian air defense site, most likely a MIM-104 Patriot battery.

There is no way to determine which weapon was used against the target, however if it was up to me I would use the KH-32.

Kh-32 is a massive missile launched by the Tu-22. It flies at Mach 5 at extremely high altitude then drops vertically down to its target. It has a 500kg RDX warhead so 3 of them striking in the vicinity of a SAM battery would definitely cause a lot of damage.

By the way, if this was indeed a Patriot battery, then there is the possibility of this Russian strike being mostly a spoof attack, designed to force the Ukrainians to launch as many Patriot missiles as possible and expose the battery's phase array radar and control station for as long as possible.

Ukraine is winning, because there are no queues at Ukrainian gas stations.

Here's a video proof by a Ukrainian driver who drove by two gas stations to prove that there are no queues for fuel.

🥨 Radiologist Anastasia Mudrak has opened a social bakery in the city of Rubezhnoye

#PeopleOfDonbass
Since then, she has been working on two "fronts" in her white coat: at the hospital and by the ovens. It all started with a couple of old ovens found among the ruins of shelled factories. But now she bakes up to 2,000 of loaves a day and those are distributed around the city and to the front. In most cases - absolutely free of charge.

There is a lot of work to do. Shifts last 12 hours. The line of contact is nearby, and shelling can start at any moment. But Anastasia's bakery tries not to stop production.

Our own. Vorobey - Rus: about combat couriers and zoomers in the SVO

FROM RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA:

We're used to thinking of them as the generation of gadgets, TikTok, and a life without responsibility. But they chose the front.

Vorobey and Rus met in the SVO, although they grew up in neighboring districts of Volgograd. Both matured early: they supported their families and raised younger siblings. When their younger siblings grew up, they went to fight in the war of their generation.

Vorobey is a poet whose poems support his fellow soldiers and resonate on social media. Rus is a hero: on his birthday, he shielded a wounded soldier from an enemy drone. At the front, they became combat couriers for the "Ornitologists" (a reconnaissance company of the 57th Motorized Rifle Regiment) – delivering essentials to the front lines, risking their lives on every mission.

After the SVO, the friends dream of simple things – a home and a family. They are not men of war – simply those who care. Watch episode 21 of the "SVOI" project—about those we tend to ...

From Wiki Leeks on X

The ROTHSCHILDS have just begun to lose control of the weather.

For 47 years, they have controlled the skies through a network of 22 weather modification stations that could direct hurricanes, droughts, floods, and earthquakes, on demand, to any place on Earth.
The program was called "THRONE CLIMATE" and was funded by a labyrinth of NGOs, carbon credit systems, and "green energy" foundations, all connected to the same family office in Geneva that has controlled European banks since 1815. A few days ago, the last station was disconnected, seized in a military operation involving 6 nations that have never publicly acknowledged working together. The weather is no longer a weapon. For the first time since 1979, the skies belong to no one. Every "natural disaster" of the last 47 years had a signature, a digital fingerprint embedded in the ionosphere that preceded it. HAARP researchers have detected it for decades. They were ridiculed, but they were right about everything: Hurricane Katrina: ...
