Russia’s capacity to terrorize Ukraine’s noncombatant population centers is being significantly degraded by the United States and NATO-supplied integrated air defense systems. These weapon systems, which include Patriot missile batteries, are proving capable of downing Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles, Kalibr cruise missiles, S-400 missiles, and Iskander-M ballistic missiles, as well as Iranian-supplied Shahed and Orlan-10 drones.
Now, nine months later, the S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, manufactured by Almaz-Antey, are still failing in Ukraine. These missile systems were supposedly guaranteed to take out planes, helicopters, and most notably, HIMARS missiles. They are doing neither. Throughout Putin’s war, Russian armor, the mainstay of Russian ground forces since World War II, is proving equally ineffective.
