This Footage Changed Everything: Patriot Failed as Russian Missiles Hit Kyiv

Описание: Patriot air defense system failed to intercept Russian Kh-101 cruise missiles.
This video breaks down one of the most controversial air battles of 2026 — the night Russian missiles struck targets across Kyiv while American-made Patriot air defense systems failed to stop them.
During a nighttime strike, Russian strategic bombers, likely Tu-95 aircraft, launched KH-101 cruise missiles toward multiple locations in the Kyiv region. Patriot systems were deployed and interceptor missiles were launched, yet post-strike footage tells a shocking story. One KH-101 cruise missile is seen passing beneath a Patriot interceptor before striking its target, while the interceptor continues flying aimlessly. Moments later, additional Patriot missiles were launched, only to repeat the same chaotic pattern as more Russian missiles reached their objectives.
This incident was not isolated. On January 20, Russia carried out one of the largest air strikes of 2026, involving 372 attack assets, including Geran-2 drones, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, KH-101 cruise missiles, and even a 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile. Despite Ukrainian claims of intercepting 342 targets, independent verification remains absent, while battlefield evidence suggests widespread successful impacts.
This video examines the weapons involved, the limitations of Western air defense doctrine, and why systems like Patriot struggle against modern Russian missile warfare. More importantly, it raises a critical question now being quietly discussed in military circles: if Patriot struggles over Kyiv, how effective can it really be in defending NATO territory?
This is not theory.
This is not simulation.
This is battlefield reality.
