Great commentary on already good live analysis, Ryan! Just what happened to the original upload? Some "Beijing guy" geolocated the footage in the comments there and another one claimed someone on Chinese social media has claimed "responsibility" of his company making this Patriot movie prop. I bet with more efforts someone (ex.g. @SerpentZA) could track him down, but i have enough evidence in the right order to believe this version. P.S.

And it is basically a truck that has a supergiant oversized absurdly long trailer with 4 launchers mounted one after another and a total of 240 tubes. As a replacement for 6 Grad MLRS to reduce manpower requirements. And there also isn't any "foreign" SAM systems that looks like Patriot. Either they're completely different launch packs, or they're NOT mounted on a trailer(again, not normal), because most other makers of SAMs wants them to be NOT taking an hour or two to set up after reaching their location of operation. "or just a complete mockup built from ground up." And why would a mockup be made based on the training version of the Patriot launcher?

I think a lot has to do with budget constraints. If this is a movie or military exercise prop, they're going to find the closest garbage truck or similar ready made platform and just make some cosmetic changes - not hand-make a total replica - which would exceed the cost of the original. Along the lines of your point, beyond the fake (in the context used) photo, I'm bugged by the use of the word "reengineering" instead of "reverse engineering". At least making a proper (knowable) eqpt replica would cost major coin. What's the excuse for using the wrong word?

[@jebe4563]

Keep in mind the vehicle in question was probably not put together for the purpose talked about in the video. It's more likely to be something a Chinese movie company had fabbed for a prop, or as a prop intended to be used for training purposes. Hence things like the 'Inert' markings.

@@reload.8056 While nationalists indeed used this statement, the phrase "Slava Ukraine" is not solely tied to nationalists. Nationalists were just among the people who used the statement, similar to how "Viva la France" is not exclusive to French nationalists. I am more than sure that some nationalists used "Viva la France," but the term is not tied to French nationalists alone. Stepan Bandera is an extremely controversial figure, even among Ukrainians. He and his group fought against the Polish, USSR, and Nazis towards the end of World War II. However, at the beginning of World War II, he and his group cooperated with Fascist Germany in exchange for the possibility of creating an independent Ukraine. It is now believed that there was no official agreement and that most likely they were deceived. The absence of an official agreement was due to the fact that Fascist Germany had an open and official doctrine known as Generalplan Ost. The Generalplan Ost (English: Master Plan for the East), abbreviated GPO, was Nazi Germany's blueprint for the genocide, extermination, and large-scale ethnic cleansing of Slavs (Ukrainians, Poles, Russians, etc.), Eastern European Jews, and other indigenous peoples of Eastern Europe categorized as "Untermensch" in Nazi ideology. According to this official German plan, there could not be any Ukrainians or an independent Ukraine. Fascist Germany deceived and used collaborators in every country they occupied or fought. For example, you can read about Polish collaborationism during WWII or Russian collaborationism in WWII. As you can understand, according to Plan Ost, Poles and Russians also had to be removed. However, the Russian government uses a flag that was used by Russian Fascists during WWII. In summary, if I were you, I would not mention this extremely controversial person(Stepan Bendera).

Ryan is 100% correct about how well the military keeps track of weapons and other high-value items. I was a unit-level armorer for years, and not once was a high-value item, weapon, or weapon component I was responsible for lost, or stolen. I did have damaged and broken components, which happened with wear and tear over time, but the item was accounted for every time. I had a buddy in another company who had a 1LT drop a pair of NVGs while on a training mission. The whole company walked in a line over the training area until they were found. The LT initially blamed a PFC for "losing" them, but the LTC was having none of that BS. The next time we went to the field, the LT had his NVGs attached to him with a lanyard.

Thats what I thought, Training Mock-up for Taiwan? The background looks like the hilly terrain of Taiwan.

[@captianwinston1850]

I believe that image was actually taken in China? AFAIK, the license plate on the truck looks like it's from China (it's typical in china to have a Chinese character and then a string of numbers). Also, below the license plate says 长车 (very blurry, assuming I read that correctly), which means 'long vehicle'. That is in simplified Chinese, which is used in China (Taiwan uses traditional Chinese)...

[@kevintaylor791]

@@captianwinston1850 I don't know shit about reading Chinese. My point was; seeing a patriot, even if it was a real one, around Chinese signs isn't an immediate red flag to me because Taiwan. That's all.

[@highwolf_x]

​@@captianwinston1850can confirm it's China - the license plate for the trailer is for Tianjin

[@ty7050]

I am from Taiwan, and I can assure you that the photo was taken in China. 1. There are simplified Chinese characters on the road sign and billboard, while we use traditional Chinese characters in Taiwan. 2. The white writing on the trailer reads "徐州" (Xuzhou), which is a city in northwestern Jiangsu province, China. 3. The electric scooters the two ladies are riding behind the truck are very popular in China but not in Taiwan. 4. Road signs in China use white text with a blue background, while we use green backgrounds.

As a current 14T (patriot launcher operator/maintainer), it's hilarious that they thought no one was gonna catch this. Though i guess to the everyday person it could be convincing, its just funny seeing what they could come up with. Love your videos ryan, I actually used your videos to educate myself on the job before getting it seeing as my recruiter had no idea what the hell my mos did besides showing me the video when i first signed. Fun fact, my class was the one filmed for the new 14T mos video that was put out not long ago.

Germany provides most of the Patriot systems and I know that our Patriots are monitored via GPS. We pay attention to whether our systems fall into the wrong hands. So speculation about this is completely pointless

@@theotherside8258 corruption is a problem on both sides of this particular war. When the war began, Russian tanks ran out of fuel because the crews had been selling the fuel.

For 4 months, the Russians were incapable of large scale night time operations because prior to the war, the overwhelming majority of their troops had sold their night vision sets on the black market.

[@babykingkong7010]

Many people just missing the point. Considering the relationship between Russian and the Chinese. If there’s anything Russian captured that the Chinese want a piece of it. They will have it. And could be done in a secret way. People should be worried for the real purpose of it. Because it is too nicely built if it’s just a bomb target. This thing is for AI training. To let all Recon and attack units like drones can study and analyze hi value targets and prioritize them.

You could tell it was fake from the lack of load on the trailer wheels on the flatbed. Remember all the ICBM launchers in the parades that are just large launch tubes and there's no deformation of the tires on the road?

[@badgerpa9]

Russian information agents rely on you for all the information you provide on how to tell what is fake and what is real. What I cannot get over is how no one is commenting on how poorly it is chained down, multiple problems with how it is chained down. You always need to tie unsprung weight down so it holds the unit, chaining to sprung weight can loose a chain. The tires are close to the bead breaking and the unit could slide around then and then you loose a chain or more, you always chain down the axle with wood or blocks under an axle if you are deflating the tire, you don't want the load to slide sideways on the beads. Obviously sub standard labor chained this down, not a real unit.
