Everywhere The evidence is in: the missile defense system that the United States and its allies rely on is a lemon.
>On March 25, Houthi forces in Yemen fired seven missiles at Riyadh. Saudi Arabia confirmed the launches and asserted that it successfully intercepted all seven.
>This wasn’t true. It’s not just that falling debris in Riyadh killed at least one person and sent two more to the hospital. There’s no evidence that Saudi Arabia intercepted any missiles at all. And that raises uncomfortable questions not just about the Saudis, but about the United States, which seems to have sold them — and its own public — a lemon of a missile defense system.
They have pac-2 and it intercepted 104 out of 104 ballistic missiles shot at the Saudis
Literally a success rate of 100%

oh look, its this thread again this is becoming more ridiculous than the attempts of the vatniks with the tomahawk attack
Hudson Phillips
If the Patriot didn’t stop anything and even killed one person with debris, then the Houthi missiles are even more shit, since they weren’t intercepted and failed to do any casualties.
Henry Cruz
They probably shoot for a general area, realistically there is a large amount of land that is just unpopulated to touch down on.

Does the US have the cringiest 1984 naming convention for weapons?
I bet freedom bullets are a thing.

Pierre Sprey said the same thing at project on government oversights Pentagon section. He (or someone he was citing) did a literature review and found that most all the Patriot "hits" were unverifiable with total lack of the usual confirmation that we get with other weapon systems.
Call me a spreyfag but he keeps getting proven correct.

Here's a wild thought, they got btfo and didn't report it out of fear of encouraging more attacks.

Seems to do alright for the Israelis to (along with iron dome). Vatnik butthurt all round

The Houthis are essentially firing what is a WW2 Nazi V-2 copy.

>most all the Patriot "hits" were unverifiable with total lack of the usual confirmation that we get with other weapon systems. This stinks of tabloid level bullshit by leaving out vital parts. Take a wild guess what is different, when you are having rockets shoting each other down, instead of ground targets or planes leaving large wrecks. The Patriots are shooting down the things they should, but they are just not sending out idiots to search and analyse every piece of debris, since it simply is pretty useless.,
Kevin Martin
Not entirely unrelated, but you lot might find this interesting:
Tl;Dr timestamps were off by 1/3 of a second, and as such resulted in failure to intercept. As a "software engineer" (web shit), I'd feel pretty fucking bad if my shit code caused 28 people to die.

>What does this missile system do >it defends our soil >let's call it the patriot system You could have gone after Apaches, Tomahawks, or literally anything except the one that makes perfect sense.

TIL out of 10 missiles launched from houtis so far only 104 were intercepted occassionally if there is no missile to intercept they become the missile
How do Americans expect to survive against state of the art ballistic missiles like iskander when patriot missiles cant even defend against sandniggers? A salvo of iskander is enough to fry 1000 burgers

>TIL Go back to your shithole

It wasn't Sprey but MIT professor Theodore Postol.
The evidence is the 104 Missiles aimed at cities has produced 0 casualties. If the weren’t being intercepted there would be many many dead. See the missile strikes on military camps in Yemen. With no defense the missiles work fine, with a defense they fail utterly. That’s really clear evidence dude.
