@OlgaBazova @squatsons: This is referring to Ukraine’s report on all missiles launched since February 24, 2022

It shows overall, since 2022, a 77% interception rate of X-101s, 55% of Kalibrs, and 25% of Kinzhals. It includes daily frontline strikes throughout the war with guided missiles and Iskanders. It does not indicate a 1/5 or 1/4 interception of Kalibr and X-101s like you are claiming.

If you would have used a bit of your brain and read the report in detail before making this post, you’d realize it includes all missiles of all types launched since February 24th, 2022, which in 2022 Ukraine had significantly worse air defenses than it has now, so the overall interception rates factor in the 2022 strikes making them lower overall, that’s how averages work.

Around 3,000 of the 6,291 missiles launched in the war, excluding Kalibr, X-101, and others, were specifically S-300 missiles used on the frontline, of which almost none were intercepted for obvious reasons. That is not the same as Kalibrs or X-101s being launched and intercepted like yesterday. So read before making these misleading comments.

The same report you are referring to states that the interception for each missile throughout the entire war was:

Kinzhals 25% (111)
Kalibr 55% (804)
X-101 78% (1884)
Iskander-M 4% (1300)
Onyx 5.6% (211)
S-300/400 0.3% (3,008)

What you are trying to do is take the overall rates of missiles launched, which exceeds 12,000 in the war, and claim that Ukraine cannot shoot down over 25% of them. When you take the 12,000 number, you are not mentioning that it includes thousands of S-300s, Iskanders, and other missiles launched at the frontline or in cities where almost none have been intercepted. While purposefully excluding that, the same report shows interception of cruise missiles like Kalibr and X-101 at over 55% to 78% throughout the war in that same report.

S-300s and Iskanders are entirely different from X-101s; Kalibrs were used mainly yesterday. One Ukraine can more easily intercept, and the other is much harder or, in most cases, impossible. You are trying to combine all of those and characterize all as having the same interception rate. Learn about how air defenses work first.

@small_hat1 @squatsons: Do you understand the concept of cruise missiles vs ballistic missiles? And an Iskander-M destroying a NASAMS launcher when NASAMS is for cruise missiles, not ballistic missiles. There are very few recorded destruction of NASAMS, IRIS-T, or Patriots throughout the war, a handful.

@AMK_Mapping_ @MobikMeatCube @DaldoWaldo: Do you know what happens when a Surface-to-air missile strikes a cruise missile? An explosions. 40 explosions do not mean 40 successful hits; talk to anyone in Ukraine; there are different explosions based on interception or hits. A lot of assuming you did in that thread.

@DaldoWaldo @AMK_Mapping_ @MobikMeatCube: You're talking to a kid right now who has no clue that explosions do not mean successful strikes. Everyone now is a military expert apparently. A guy selling protein shakes to a kid.

@AMK_Mapping_ @DaldoWaldo @MobikMeatCube: I read it and there is an extreme amount of assuming and gernslizarion. How do you account for how many air defense missiles fired vs hit successfully. That’s completely impossible, and you are assuming explosions for hits when they could be anything, strikes or interceptions.

@DaldoWaldo @AMK_Mapping_ @MobikMeatCube: They are generally accurate; they’ve been off several missiles per strike. One strike, they were off like 4-5 missiles when 40 were fired due to X-101s flying one after another. There is an error sometimes; Russian accounts say 100% interception when it was only reported once this year. The interception rates are pretty consistent with the systems they have. Some missiles have terrible interception rates, like Iskanders; others have better interception rates, like Kalibr and X-101s. Ukraine certainly can intercept them after 2.5 years and got tons of air defenses sent to them.

Many Ukrainians believe the reports too, because they report, for example, ten missiles get launched at a city, with seven shot down, residents hear many explosions, and then there are three str...

@Bernie7Ng: We will probably get a video of F-16s at some point, shooting missiles down maybe, but they could be launching at ranges of +20km to +50km away. Ukraine’s priority is to have OPSEC around F-16s now since there are so few.

@MobikMeatCube @squatsons @OlgaBazova: Basically what he does. I refuted his misleading claim by citing the source in detail, he has nothing as a counter claim because he misrepresented the report. So he makes unrelated comments. He does this always, a well constructed argument is “mental gymnastics” or “cope” for him

You’re incapable of engaging in any discussion or constructive debate.

@ukraine_map @squatsons @OlgaBazova: I broke down and refuted the misleading claim you made because you purposefully misrepresented the report, and your best response is mental gymnastics and cope. Of course, nothing about the substance of the claim I responded to. And you do this every time you get called out too.

@OlgaBazova @squatsons: Because they need as much air defense as possible, if they shoot down 80 of 100 missiles, 20 still hit and they do damage. They need Patriots specifically. Ukraine intercepts almost no ballistics. Common sense would tell you they need more air defense, maybe read the report again
