How will Patriot and S-300 combo work in Ukraine?

The video compares the PAC-3 variants of the Patriot SAM that Ukraine got with the S-300P family SAMs that Ukraine already uses. Which system is better for what roles? And how might the systems fare in Ukraine? Watch the video to find out.

I used to be an engineer on the PATRIOT. This is a surprisingly thorough video, but a little out of date, which is understandable since you wouldn't have access to new specifications. I can't speak to specifics, but I can say the PAC-2 (which I've always preferred) and PAC-3 systems have been continuously updated to handle modern threats and to address weaknesses.

"Perun" has been my favourite channel for a few months now.

The main issue is less whether Patriot is better than Cold War era S-300s, but that Ukraine gets a system for which it has a reliable missile resupply source. When they run out of S-300 and Buk, there won't be any more coming.

The provision of a couple Patriot systems allows Ukraine to rebalance their GBAD, stretching their remaining stocks of Soviet missiles out more.

Perun and Preston Stewart are the two I _most_ trust when viewing content about the war. No matter what biases you claim about them they always provide sources. More to it I love all the flak Perun gets from the bots because they can never point to the supposed 'bias' in the information he presents. Sure, he has a personal bias to Ukraine as presented in his humor but the actual informational content is always source from something solid.

You forget that France and perhaps Italy provide their system MAMBA that's equivalent to Patriot, and 100% have anti ballistic missile capability.

(you know, some EU country don't want to rely 100% on US made systems)
If you add 1 or even 2 zone "patriot alike", it could allow to protect high tech weapon convoy from Poland passing by Lyiv or by the bridge near Romania.

The ones I watch a lot that also talk about the war in Ukraine are Ryan McBeth, Perun, and Task & Purpose

[jessediaz]

I also like “The Caspian Report”, and “King and Generals”

The bot spam. The video is 18 hours old yet crolling I find it hard to find a comment more than 10 minutes old.

[brandonhultgren]

Hi Binkov, I tend to be watching you, Perun, and Task & Purpose.
Going to start watching the Chieftan’s videos. All of you are producing wonderful content. I appreciate it.

[himawaricopter]

Thanks for another great video Binkov! I enjoy wayching Perun's channel because even though its just powerpoints, he does a good job presenting difficult topics to a general audience. Task & Purpose is also entertaining but the quality of their information and analysis is often not very good, though this is improving over time.

There also now 2 full Iris-T SLM Systems from Germany in Ukraine. Which one System consists of 3 Missle trucks, a radar truck and a command truck.

RedEffect (tanks)
Perun (military analysis)
Matsimus (tanks)
Caspian report (geopolitics)
Good Times Bad Times (geopolitics)

I highly recommend those.

[dmacpher]

Holy crap this comment section is Trolls of Olga disaster 😂

[KevlarIlluminati]

Perun. Has the most in depth and analytical takes on the Ukraine conflict.

[ryanhill]

Kings and generals ; perun and warographics are really good channels.

Welcome to the 424th day of three days "Special Operation" :D

[ДмитроВанько]

When himars was announced to be supplied, ruzzis were buzzing that grad is much better and himars wont bring anything. We know what happened later) Now they are saying that patriot is ancient system and wont work at all, so we’ll see how it will do)
Anyway, additional sams are only a plus
