   It wasn’t filmed and initially published by me, but I believe that half of the city observed these fireworks.

2. I’m assuming flight radar 24 is not operational in Ukraine.

3. Really interesting footage

4. Patriot putting in some work.

5. I counted 2.2 miles away for the first intercept.

6. Those are not hypersonic missiles

7. God bless russian corruption. That hypersonic missile bullshit was one of biggest scams in russian history

8. The distant rumble interlaced with the croaks of crows and the car alarms… Eerie and hauntingly beautiful.

9. Imagine what this would be like without the AA support – they already don’t have enough. How long have they being doing this now? If they can’t get our continued support Russia would have been able to and be able to cause a level of destruction in population centres that is quite frankly scary when we used to consider them a fellow European country – and they had the power to influence EU development and veto shit. Still think they should have some of their privileges stripped but I fear the isolationist approach will cause Cold War-esk alarm bells. What do be done?

10. It’s wild to think that those explosions were powerful enough to set off car alarms while still being miles above ground. Every intercepted missile or drone saves so much damage.

11. That is impressive. At least three hits for sure. Nice to see opsec kept with the person shooting this video too. Very interesting video.

12. Imagine you’re a bird and your peaceful skies turn into this

13. I was watching a spec of dust on my screen for half the video

14. Looks like they are not *that* hypersonic

15. scary
