Ukraine used Patriot to shoot down Russian bomber - media

This was reported by CNN, citing representatives of the Pentagon and the US Congress.

According to the information received by journalists, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used the Patriot system to shoot down a Russian bomber.

Allegedly, an enemy aircraft that was about to attack Ukrainian targets was shot down.

However, US officials note that Ukraine has the right to decide how to use Patriot to defend itself.

Earlier, the same media outlet CNN reported that the Patriot missile defence system was damaged. But the Pentagon said that it had been repaired.
