"30 US Patriot PAC-3 MSE launch at a cost of $5 million per missile. That’s $150 million gone within 2 mins."


Poster Comment:

That is $150 million to replace 30 missiles and $1 billion for the battery. Raytheon will gladly sell Uncle another matching set.

The US thought it was safe to store billions of dollars of equipment and ammo in warehouses protected by Patriot missiles. Then the Russians blew them up and the Patriots.

Given we don't have operational hypersonic missiles, it's unrealistic to suggest the Patriots could shoot them down as there's no way to have ever tested them against hypersonics.

The Patriot system did not do well against Yemen for the Saudis.

Are you quite sure about that? I believe I recall a vid of Patriot missiles shooting down a missile launched by the Houthis at Riyadh. ;)

Shot down some Scuds but a lot of stuff got through. Scuds are big and slow.
