This is the usual Russian propaganda. Russian ballistic missiles can’t hit moving targets, Patriot batteries don’t have that many vehicles and they are dispersed when the battery deploys.

Nope, it was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry, and their accuracy is 90% or greater. Let’s see if the Ukrainians/Neocons even try to deny it (and no doubt the Russians have more footage).

Like it or not, they found more of our toys, and DESTROYED them. As to their formation, beats me, but the DEI batch running the US military is FAR from being the “best and brightest”.

Iskander missiles *can* hit moving targets - the Iskander-M is only semi-ballistic and they do have optical seeker heads on at least one variant - think giant surface launched version of the AIM-54 Phoenix to understand the flight path of the weapon - it climbs to get altitude to trade for speed for the hypersonic sprint at the end. The Iskander-K is the cruise missile variant.
