  1. Kind of guys, so Patriot system used in Iraq was abysmal (25% kill rate) - current one in Ukraine is the PAC3 - far superior with much better integrated targeting software, radar is next gen (everyone focuses on platform and not munition/software/radar). Also hypersonic decent is actually more predictable then most munitions' - reaction time matters, but modern Patriot is fairly systematic as long as it properly maintained. If damaged most likely it was due to poor maintenance from Ukraine, maybe improper loading (in all honesty).

  2. And honey - we have only sent over the bottom shelf stuff - slightly upgraded. Most funding goes back to Military industrial complex - if we are let of the leash against China we will scare the world (think Persian gulf) but exponentially more destruction.

  3. @Opus Dei Fear is the mind killer, maybe that is why all the orcs are brain dead and begging like dogs in the street, wait until you see what we are going to do once your civil war kicks off ;-) - all those new phrases and names: 'Bandit Wars' 'Caucasus Emirates' 'Russian Famine' 'Russian food riots' 'Russian fuel scarcity' ... Patriot system is designed to intercept ballistic projectiles on descent, not to chase - its a math problem with a systemic trigger - and Lockheed skunk works built the PAC-3's - have fun choking on a mix of vodka and your own blood.
