I was a Patriot Army Officer. In my day, we were surprised at how well the missile did vs Scuds. Now this. It is an amazing system.

Thank you.
Clearly not a position for everyone.

We all know the low-bidder line but some equipment far exceeds the design specifications. It happens even with government contracts.

If you have the time could you give your opinion on the Patriot video and the team that operates it?

A detailed talk on the Patriot system. The speaker is a former US Army E-7, 20 min.
