If we have any back doors in it to cause a catastrophic explosion, China won’t be aware of them until they get set off.

Just a launcher? If so, not a huge deal. It's the radars and missiles that make the Patriot effective, not the launch tubes.

But then upon further inspection found out it was just a concrete pumping truck trailer.

I was going to guess that the Taliban sold it to them, but not surprised.

Yeah, no shite. Those goat frickers have no idea how to run that equipment and foreigners will not oblige them of shipping parts and weaponry to use them properly, but the Chinese and Russians sure as hell do. They probably bought almost all of our equipment over there and have been reverse engineering them for years.

The Ukes prolly sold it to them. Foreign villas and Miami Beach condos are expensive.

We didn't leave a patriot battery in Afghanistan.

Like China doesn’t own politicians to get that info anyway.

Pretty sure China would be able to engineer one of those without having to look at one of ours.

Reminds me of all of the technology that transferred to China during the Clinton years.

Then again, it is a MIC wet dream. Now they need a lot more money to build a better mouse trap.

Rinse. Repeat. Rinse.....

I'd bet China already had the blueprints to the Patriot defense system. They've been around since the Iraq war.
