One of the greatest failures of the west, as I understand US alone has some 55 patriot systems, many I am sure are in east Asia, but many USand nato Allie’s have them in europe.
Deploy them to Ukraine, shoot down as many missiles and aircraft as possible, so the treat to not just Ukraine but the west is severely degraded.
I do hope several systems are deployed with F-16s and hopefully as well gripens
From what I understand, over half our Patriot batteries are deployed outside the US. We have a huge back-order for foreign sales. Japan and Germany are already building missiles under license. We should add another missile production line in Europe, as well as building a production line for the launchers, Radars and other components. Raytheon is building 12 Batteries/year, but the demand far exceeds that. I would also like to see a longer range missile added to Patriot batteries, like the SM-6, particularly the blk 1B. The US Army has already bought the truck based VLS to launch them (Typhon MRC).
