I thought patriots shooting down Shaheds was a rare event, and most of Shaheds are being shot down by fighter jets?
Жафстелце@wolf480pl @jmaris in Ukraine, yes. They can't afford to waste patriots for shaheds.
(Ukraine used less patriots in 3 years than the US in 3 days. Imagine what Ukraine could have done with those patriots instead)

🇺🇸 💀 No wonder they can't, the Patriots has not ever been «on sale» at the DumpShop! 🐓
@Schafstelze @jmaris
no I also mean in the Persian Gulf
USA does not even have enough patriots missile in stockpile to shoot one shahed with one patriot missile.
And it still needs to keep most of those missiles for a potential war with China.
And a patriot battery usually fires at least two missiles in parallel at any single target.
If money was the problem, USA could be shooting down shaheds with patriots and win. But the problem is production rate.
@wolf480pl @jmaris The US wasted 800 Patriots within three days. But as Trump said, they don't need help from Ukraine...
@Schafstelze @jmaris
Iran fired 1000+ shaheds in the first 3 days of the war, and ~400 ballistic missiles.
I'm guessing most of these patriots were used against ballistic missiles.
Still, that's an insanely high number of patriots and I'm worried about US's stockpile now...

Nazo@nazokiyoubinbou i'm pretty sure both air defense and shooting down an enemy helicopter while repelling an invasion are both legal.
What is not legal is the way the US started the war with Iran
WesDym@jmaris I suspect that the real scandal is how horribly much defence contractors are ripping off US taxpayers. I remember when the Patriot was new -- half a century ago. It runs on radar -- developed during WW2. How does anything that old cost that much?
Neil Moffatt@wesdym The arms market has to be a very false one. It is a major part of the attraction of wars.
Vast monies to made in supplying devices to kill people.
