  2. Because it's a mockup for either military training or use in a movie. In either case, they only needed it to look close enough, and this mockup more than meets that standard. I'm guessing that the hydraulic screw for the outrigger legs on a real Patriot launcher is more expensive than a hydraulic piston. Given that the launcher on this prop will be made of just sheet metal and/or painted wood, it'll be a lot lighter than a real Patriot launcher. So the thin, flimsy outriggers with hydraulic pistons would be sufficient when you need the launcher to set up for its action shots. And all of the other discrepancies between the prop and the real thing are stuff you have to pause, zoom, and search for. Nobody cares if their prop is that perfect.

  4. I know this story would be BS just from the title, but I didn't really think about it just being a training mockup. My immediate thought was that China must have made a knockoff of the Patriot, since they copy so much else.
