Every Ukrainian downing of Russian hypersonic Kinzhal with the Patriot missiles will improve the Patriot missile intercept algorithm - and increase accuracy for all Patriot systems, a benefit for the US, the rest of NATO, and other Patriot AD users. Added ROI.
Pretty much what those weapon systems were built to do. It’s a rare chance to test them against real world targets…
I wonder how the medium range systems like IRIS-T or NASAMS would fare against them. Not that we should let them even get that far. It’s just so satisfying to watch all of Russia’s super-weapons fail so miserably.
There was talk in German Media a few weeks ago, that IRIS-T had a 100% success rate. Every single rocket IRIS-T fired shot another one down.
Not sure I believe it, but I wouldn’t be surprised much.
Once again American weapon systems show the world what absolute clowns Russia are.
My thought exactly. What I guess was an attempt at a saturation bombardment, costing at least half a billion dollars, and it achieved literally nothing. Meanwhile in Russia you hear shit like the story the other day where a man got shot in the knee, and instead of getting him knee replacement and disability payment they sent his wife a bag of vegetables and they’re sending him back to the front line (even though he can barely walk). This whole situation is so fucked.
That and Russia bombing one of it’s own villages by accident…
Whoopsie!
Yeah but this is an attrition game : if every patriot sent costs 3 m$, is it used to down a 10m$ khinzal, a 1m$ kh-22 or a 20k$ shaheed ? It costs both sides a lot, and I am not sure it is in favor of UA
Send them more F16s
Send them Gripen as well.
Give Ukraine whatever they want including nukes and the mongoloid of Moscow will never look south again.
Pretty gross way to agree with me tbh
Pretty gross situation altogether tbh
We sent them all to Israel.
Nah they get the f35s.
Yes but with your money 😁
Gladly
To each their own ;)
Fair enough. I just rather pay some tax money to weapons that go to Ukraine than to fight in the next war myself against Russia. Because that is what is likely going to happen in Europe if Russia wins.
You’re talking to a bot. It’s few days old account spreading russian propaganda.
Yes, you’re probably right.
Fuck it. Your thoughts might be helping someone elae accept the gravity of the situation. Don’t stop communicating, that is what made humans great, and it will be the only thing that can save us from most of not all issues.
No I want them to use yours in particular
Too bad I’m not paying since I’m from Russia
Well then you better watch out before your loonbag president stuffs you in the meatgrinder like your friends before you
🏛️
np i’ll just overdraft my bank account, buy 500 patriots and shitloads of ATACMS for ukraine, send them off, and then declare bankruptcy. i can manage the 5 years lol
You are very rich!!! My dad works for Microsoft as well!
NGL, that’s pretty badass. Engineers are the real MVPs!
