OT but good video to get caught up on the latest Patriot missile configs.
Patriots got a bad rap back in early 2000's in Iraq but were originally designed for anti aircraft intercepts.
They have come a long way today..
See Europe finally getting more gear to Ukraine..
Is America's Patriot air defense system really any good? - YouTube
