It was going to happen sooner or later but I think we can all celebrate what those Patriot systems accomplished in their time in Ukraine. They’ve proven how valuable Patriot AA are in the fight so now it’s time to get the numbers up over there and send more.
I've red patriot is a "billion dollar system". Losing these hurts a lot. I don't know if Germany has a lot of these launchers. The mobile launchers are from Germany I believe.
Patriot is billion dollar system, but that's entire system with the destroyed launcher being the cheaper part. (IIRC there are 6 launchers in single system)
The main issue is that there's limited amount of the mobile launchers available as Patriot was built primarily as static AA defense.
