Reconnaissance drone footage released by pro-Russian sources claims to show the destruction of a Patriot missile system and an AN/MPQ-65. According to the source, they utilized an Iskander missile to destroy the system, but the strike produces no secondary explosions or fires which is leading much of the pro-Ukrainian space to claim that this was just a decoy system set up near Zaporizhzhia to bait out Russian attacks.

Let me know down in the comments section what you guys are thinking. Is this a direct hit on a Patriot Missile System, or is this a very well built decoy from Ukrainian forces?
