The latest Russian 9M729 missiles destroyed the fail-safe American Patriot and THAAD.

The newest Russian missile 9M729, around which there is still a lot of controversy, was able to destroy the myth about the invincibility of the American Patriot and THAAD missile defense systems. This information was confirmed by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, stating that in the event of a military conflict with Russia, "very dangerous" Russian missiles will destroy most European cities.

“The North Atlantic Alliance sees a threat from the latest Russian weapons. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. “New Russian missiles are very dangerous,” Stoltenberg is sure. According to him, they are “mobile, easy to hide,” and they “can reach European cities” within a very short time after launch. The Secretary General is confident that these characteristics not only lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, but also increase the risk of possible misunderstanding. ”, - German Deutsche Welle publishes information.

Thus, Stoltenberg noted the uselessness of the American Patriot and THAAD air defense / missile defense systems located in Europe, noting that the 9M729 and Avangard missiles are the key threat.

On the other hand, after Russia left the INF Treaty, Vladimir Putin instructed to develop missiles that would significantly expand the military potential, while a number of sources report that among the developed versions of weapons there are ground-based versions of the Dagger and Caliber ARCs.
