Zelensky is a tool, he got tangled in the blender that was already there before he got elected. Maybe he try not to get himself in his own Ukrainian government's 'blacklist'. He play the game well but damn....when you get pushed off a cliff and asking mid course for a parachute to the guys who pushed you it look a bit funky.
The War in the Ukraine

They can still use Kh-101's and well, suppressing the Patriot itself maybe ? Depending on block Patriot missiles have anywhere from 70-220 km range. While supposedly Kh-31PM can do 250 km. It's not like Russia lacking tools for this.
Given Patriot itself lacks mast mounted radars.. then well it's actually worse in intercepting low fliers.
Zelensky is a zionist who's only loyalty is to Israel and America. He's censoring the media and controlling the narrative to make out like Ukraine is winning, when in reality their soldiers are being slaughtered. I doubt a Ukrainian would be comfortable with so many of his people dying.
If you want to know how this plays out see the Armenia-Azerbaijan war. Armenia did the exact same thing. Control the media to make out you're winning. Works fine right till the enemy is at your gate.
It's actually a good strategy to let the world think Ukraine is "winning". It's already no longer a headline issue in most western countries. I'm surprised but it's just become another Yemen or Syria. Suits Russia fine, just let the military keep doing their job in silence.

I said air superiority, which means those Su-35s, Su-30s, helicopters, drones, etc... I never mention missiles? It's well understood that Patriots perform poorly against missiles.
Yes, Russia likely had backdoor access and knows all vulnerability of all former Soviet hardware, including S-300, not surprised.
Which is why I said embedded "advisors" will be defacto operating it, either in-person or remotely? You don't think Ukraine will ask for remote operational support in interim? Unless Russia can crack NATO encryption, how would they even prove definitely?

Its complete air supremacy as Ukraine air force and air defense is ineffective. The side having supremacy has confidence of choosing timing and location of interdiction or not engage at all.
It is largest operation of low altitude flying.
They already have these drones before in use in 2020. but what new thing introduce is very advance C3. ultimately it is the radar pods and JSTAR type aircraft that locate things for drones. current tactical drones have no ability to find unknown things unless hours of flying time wasted to every square meter.
Ukraine had capability comparable to Russia regards of radars and control electronics, so after eight years I am sure they replaced all computer code and suspectible transmitter.
They haven't had any other choice anyway, considering the absence of spares for Russia.
Not really, Buks shot down quite a few RuAF aircraft in Georgia, so they don’t really have special back doors
Perhaps you should have presented this same news to the Saudis when it keeps getting hammered by the Houthis missiles and the Israelis before that back in 1991 during the 1st Gulf War when the Patriot missiles couldn't actually stopped the scuds Iraqis were firing into Israel to the point that then Israeli PM was threatening to enter the war.
Are you serious?
