—”The patriot missile DOESN’T work”

Is that so?

Pls, elaborate on your statement.

Putin had the same opinion but has since sent his hypersonic missile designers to the Gulag.
And that says a lot.

Nobody is going to waste a hypersonic missile by using regular munitions. If they had used a hypersonic missile, the world would have seen a mushroom cloud.

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

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.
