11 Patriot missiles vs. 1 Iranian hypersonic - guess who won?
Frankly, i'm surprised Israel has any interceptors left, though these videos are from 1-March.
11 Patriot missiles vs. 1 Iranian hypersonic - guess who won?
ELEVEN Patriot missiles, at an approximate combined cost of $44 million dollars, are fired at a single incoming missile, believed to be of the hypersonic variety (mach 5+, maneuverable) from Iran and all fail to destroy it. Location is believed to be Tel Aviv.
There is no reliable defense against the Russian and Iranian hypersonic and multi-warhead missiles. One of the primary interceptors used for air defense is the Patriot missile which has apparently never been able to reliably intercept even a ballistic missile since the 1990's. Russian, Iranian and likely Chinese missile technology is 1 to 2 generations ahead of anything the US or Israel possesses according to a friend who works in missile tech for US DoD.
ORIGINAL POST ON X: 11 Patriot missile interceptors flown to miss one Iranian hypersonic missile - even if those were at cost/replenishment parity (they are *not*) - it's obvious what'll happen
