2 days ago Russians claimed that they had destroyed 2 more American Patriot missile systems in Kiev, which Ukraine forces denied as propaganda.

This morning the Russian friendly Telegram channel posted 2 surveillance videos from a location marked as Kiev on the videos showing when multiple surface to air missiles were launched from 2 places and moments later, one was hit by a missile causing it to explode, followed by multiple rocket explosions to different parts of the city.

There is no way of authenticating the videos but if they are not fake, this is the first proof of Russian use of cheap Geran 2 drones to activate and locate air defense systems before taking them out with Radar detecting long distance missiles. And also the first visual proof of destruction of an air defense system by the Russian forces in Kiev.

So far, Russia has claimed that they have destroyed 4 Patriot air defense systems in Kiev something that western and Ukraine sources have denied, except one article admitting that "one Patriot system was damaged" during a previous Russian attack.
