Yeh....keep advertising...that helps....the enemy.
Sure hope we have lots made to replenish our weapon stocks.
Those missiles cost far more than the cheap drones they shot down. If we even have a hope of standing up for Taiwan, we need to build bunches of them and not use them up.
Well it could have been worst cost wise. SM-3 Block IB are 12k each, Block IIA are 37k ea.
Back in the 1980s the liberal creeps mocked Ronald Reagan. Reagan knew back then that American ingenuity would eventually be able to defend against missiles and ICBMs. The libs said that “hitting a bullet with another bullet” was a pipe dream. They dubbed it Star Wars, unobtainable.
Well, American ingenuity combined with Israeli ingenuity, just intercepted at least 300 missiles and drones from Iran. None of them breached Israeli airspace. Even Jordan helped Israel.
Israel calls the different anti-missle systems Iron Dome (Patriot) , David’s Sling, and Arrow.
Ronald Reagan is smiling down on us.
If they worked, I’m glad they worked.
Does the article say they actually interrcepted?
At a cost of how much each and a produciton rate of how many per month? Who makes them and what congresspeople and spinators are in their pockets?
Never miss an opportunity to practice.
Those SM-3 missiles are highly effective at protecting American children from sexual grooming and mutilation and stopping the 20 million people who invaded through the southern border.
How much does each SM-3 cost?
Apparently Biden pre-approved a limited attack by Iran. So he knew we would deplete our anti-air and spend tons of money on a Broadway musical with everyone reading their lines and pretending they are real.
