No ... we were involved, but it’s really an Israeli developed system.

“Was wondering this as well. Didn’t we knock down SCUDs in the Gulf War?”

They hit some of the Scuds with Patriots, but not all. I was there, and saw the Scuds flying overhead and landing with a boom that resounded for many miles. I also remember the cheering of the West Bank Arabs around us. If I recall correctly, one Scud hit an Israeli underground bomb bunker in Tel Aviv, killing upwards of 100 people.

Are they rechargeable? /sarc

[jonascord]

Just for your amusement. The Patriot missile was supersonic, before it cleared the launcher. That was a boom, too.

Watching the test launches was sh!t hot...

"Where are the Muslim designed and manufactured products that compare with those of Israel?"

1400 years of inbreeding, marrying their 1st cousins, just to keep the camels in the immediate family, is going to have a genetic effect.

Not quite as bad as the Hapsburg/Hohenzollern inbreeding, but how many Nobel Prizes, for science, have gone to Mecca?

It's interesting that the Russian bots still send in anti-Semitic comments, in the belief that Conservatives are Jew haters, at heart... That's a tell, by the way.

[mrmeyer]

What makes you think they’re the ones that are paying for it?

[2CAVTrooper]

Yeah it’s long since been fixed.

The newest Patriot (PAC-3) uses a smaller, faster, and more accurate missile. The original system had 4 ready to fire missiles per launcher, with the PAC-3 it’s 16 per launcher.

Iron Dome missiles cost $45,000 each. They have been used to shoot down $1500 missiles and $600 drones.

It's not so much a question of the cost of the missile as the damage caused by it.

[gogeo]

15 million? That sounds low.

[Jumper]

You are correct. My wife was actually the Arrow Field Office manager for the US Army in Tel Aviv in 2005-6. Germany and Japan are the other two allies who submit their test data to the USA so we can compile every aspect of those weapon systems.

[Eleutheria5]

About time. With what part of “it works” does anyone have a problem?

[Vlad The Inhaler]

15 million? That sounds low.

It is low.

But it is also a true fact.

According to all the sources I checked the actual total Jewish population in the entire world is somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 million.

And the muslims and 'progressives' are doing their best to reduce that Figure.

So we paid to invent it and failed, they invented it on their own, then helped us to fix our Patroits, and are now helping us to invent our own.

Crazy Jews share their secrets with their friends...

And dont whine about it.
