The patriot missile DOESN’T work”

Is that so?

——-
Everyone knows the Patriot missile defense does NOT work as advertised, do you have a short memory? Saudi Arabia, Yemen know this firsthand.

The evidence is in: the missile defense system that the United States and its allies rely on is a lemon...”

Much info available, misfires, hardware faults, thrust vectoring system causes missile to “ boomerang”….why else has the US been struggling for years to find a replacement?

“ WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army has been working toward a replacement for its Raytheon-made Patriot air and missile defense system for well over a decade, but it is closing in on bringing some key capabilities of its future system to bear in 2022.…”

If you think our Patriots are the latest and best, you have fallen victim to defense false media….just see how many “ variants” and models they were forced to make.

At first I thought they were tongue in cheek, but then I realized they were serious.

Claiming the system is a failure because “debris” rains down and kills one person after 7 missiles with (((warheads))) were intercepted is comically dishonest.
