Ukrainian Tg-Channel "In Factum":
«Sometimes, without extra cameras, various thematic forums are held elsewhere, not for the general public, where representatives of the military sphere (both government and army structures) gather and simply discuss various topical issues, where Ukraine is often mentioned.
And it is at such meetings that you can often hear various delicate details that no one has written about before. Neither the press nor official sources.
One of these was the Fires Symposium (https://fieldartillery.org/events/fires-symposium-2024), which was held in the USA last month. At it, among other things, they discussed the Patriot batteries transferred to Ukraine and provided several interesting details.
💬 In January 2023, we received the task of providing air defense capabilities for Ukrainians. The training took place at Fort Sill, and in April we conducted a verification exercise in Poland. At the end of April, the PATRIOT was deployed to defend Kyiv, and at 02:30 am [04 May] it was first engaged, - Assistant Chief of Staff, US 10th Army, Colonel Rosanna Clemente (her quotes also follow)
💬 Some of the Patriots are used to protect stationary objects... others move around and do really historic things... One of them is the SAMbush [ed. I don't know what it means, but it's probably a narrow-profile Americanism in a military communique]... Stretched to the very edge, the Patriot shot down the A-50 system for the first time in January
☝️ By the way, this is the first official confirmation. The Russians then said that it was friendly fire
💬 In order for the PATRIOT to be able to hit ballistic missiles, there must be other systems around it to hit other targets - for example, the Norwegian NASAMS. NASAMS is like a knight protecting his king PATRIOT
💬 German instructors woke up the Ukrainian operators of one of the Patriot batteries in the middle of the night and forced them to line up in formation and then conduct a dogfight. A month later, the Ukrainians conducted their first SAMBUSH, shooting down several SU-27s along their border
💬 The tactical control officer who shot down the first Russian "Dagger" was 23 years old at the time»
