Let's Talk About Patriot Missiles & Reaper Drones | Lee Barrett

Its reported by CNN that the USA is about to send Patriot missile defence systems to Ukraine. There are also discussions about sending Reaper drones. How will this be seen by Russia?

How much does each Patriot missile cost and how many can the NATO send to Ukraine? Americans don't make things cheap, especially if it comes to military. If Russia fires a swamp of missiles over which probably includes some duds, are the Patriot operators going to shoot them all down? When the missiles are depleted, then what? Have the politicians considered all these factors?

Yes the ones defending themselves are definitely escalating. Weird how so many people act like Russia are the ones who invaded or something

The main problem with Patriot is that the system is so big. It's not a system sat on top of a single mobile launcher, it's up to about Eight different vehicles that have to be set up on a flat open site and all linked together. It takes a few days to set up and just as long to dismantle and move. The first time they switch it on the Russians will know exactly where it is. The other problem is that they will be shooting off a very limited supply of million dollar missiles at thousand dollar drones. It's basically a sitting target broadcasting a come and get me signal.

Lee proving once again he lives in an alternative reality. Like his HIMARS analysis he couldn't be more wrong. Patriot missiles proven to shoot down the Kinzhal missile which is hyper sonic. You're the sort of person I love standing next to at work. The kind that makes everyone look smart.

Please send USA-made missile defense system or whatnots to Ukraine, it will only given Russia and China the opportunity to develope weapons to counter it.

I hope the American arsenal is being bled dry.

[ricardos]

If Ukraine is loosing the war then how were they able to retake kharkiv kherson Lyman and other territories. This analysis is so wrong. Ukraine needs more air defence systems coz of constant multiple missile attacks from Russia but that doesn't mean that Ukrainians are losing the war.
