The Patriot system is designed to intercept ballistic missiles, it is not as effective against cruise missiles, and it will definitely not be effective against drones," Kirby said in an interview with CNN, adding that it is precisely such weapons that Russian forces often use. He added that the limited capabilities of Ukraine in intercepting hypersonic missiles are not surprising either. "Hypersonic missiles, in general, are very difficult to intercept," Kirby explained.

lol lol - as a white house spokes person - kirby is nothing more than a lying piece of human excreta .. but who knows?? maybe this time he is telling the truth !!!!!..

anyway, the saudis had the patriot system - and that did not stop houthi drones finding their way to saudi oil facilities ...

air craft carrier groups (ie the american navy) are probably outdated these days .. the russians and chinese have the missiles to knock them out ..

for what is is worth, but watso is a bit disappointed in the russians - because they are not using good australian iron and coal for their missiles - but the chinese are ..
lol lol the good news for america - is that american investors own about 60% of both rio and bhp - who supply the chinese with the iron ore, which they convert into steel (using good australian coal) .. which is used to build missiles with which they can destroy american ships (just sad that america does not use good australian iron ore )
