I see this argument online all the time: “The Russian S-400 has more range! It’s more modern! It’s cheaper!” Yeah? Try using it under fire. The Patriot missile system wasn’t built to look good on parade. It was built to kill incoming threats. And that’s exactly what it’s done—in the Gulf War, in Israel, in Ukraine. Is it perfect? No. But it works when you actually need it The S-400’s longest-range interceptors look great on paper. But where’s the combat record? Where’s the integration with actual battlefield command? Patriot isn’t just a launcher—it’s a node in a global defense web. People love to quote specs. But in warfare, performance isn’t what you say it is—it’s what you can prove under pressure. And Patriot has receipts. #Military #MissileDefense #PatriotSystem
