“Instead of shooting down missiles, how about shooting where they are being launched? What am I missing?”
Supposedly the missiles are coming from mobile launchers. Pull up, set up, fire and gone in minutes. Still hard to believe our satellites aren’t parked over the launch areas and tracking were these mobile units are dispersed to and parked. Taking care of the root of the problem doesn’t make the Raytheons of the world happy. They want to keep supplying million dollar surface to air missiles to take down Russian / Iranian built $20k Drones.
Raytheon would love to do that - but right now they can’t. They can’t get the chips and they have said as much.
