Why does the USA have missile defense systems in Ukraine? What national security interests does Ukraine have for us? Congress should do their jobs and end any involvement there.


You do realize the Patriot is fielded by a LOT of countries right?
Besides America here's a list:

The Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Israel, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Taiwan, Greece, Spain, Republic of Korea, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

I told you dumb asses that hypersonic missiles aren't a threat. We are light years ahead of the competition and they know it.


The USAs biggest enemy is itself.

Anyone know if it was a PAC-3 PATRIOT or not?


Yes, they are PAC-3s in Ukraine.

Hypersonic missiles that can be guided and not lose guidance lock would be a paradigm shift and be extremely difficult to counter. The problem is I am 99.999% sure no country has cracked that nut, even the US. IIRC we have about 70 programs working independently on the problem and the idea that Russia or China has operational munitions that have true hypersonic guidance is basically laughable.

The Kynzhal aka Dagger or Carrier Killer is just a ballistic missile that reaches hypersonic speeds in reentry like almost all ballistic missiles. The capabilities Russia has assigned to it are an even bigger tall tale than the T-14 being the baddest MBT ever to grace the battlefield. It at least has potential if they could build it, the fact it has a moniker past "Object XXX" is just raw propaganda.

The death of the US military has been greatly exaggerated to borrow from Samual Clemens. Administrations come and go but love it or hate it the MIC just keeps on MICcing. Anyone picking any military over the US in a conventional war is just ignorant or being an edge lord.

Wonder if that is the missile that would have saved your city when the bombs begin flying? At least it went to a good cause

Of all the ridiculous arguments…
