Patriot & Its Effect On The Ukraine War Feat. A Patriot Instructor

Hey guys! I have teamed up with Sergeant Long, Habitual Line Crosser.
Currently serving in the US Army as an Air Defense Artilleryman, MIM-104 Patriot Instructor and Systems Development Consultant. He has migrated from TikTok to KZbin today in order to discuss the Patriot Missile System and it's effect on the Ukraine War. Now that the US has confirmed its deployment and addition to Ukraine's arsenal.
We will also discuss air defense in general and the current situation both now and going forward. Across all aspects of the battlefield. COMPLETE WITH DIAGRAMS. So forget about all the other news, like Andrew Tate getting arrested, or the 2023 New Year Hype. And learn something useful!

My sister in law is Filipino and has an uncle who worked as a power plant junior manager in Saudi Arabia. He would tell me stories about his work experience there, and how nepotistic things were. Migrant workers were expected to take on 2 to 3 times the workload as the native saudis and they wouldn’t get paid as much. The native workers would always go on “prayer” breaks for far too long and nothing could be done about it. Meanwhile I have a friend who works in Dubai and it’s a tad bit more egalitarian there at least for white collar workers. His manager is Iranian and treats his fairly compared to how the saudis treated their white collar migrant workers. So really this just goes to show that a good work culture free of the worst kinds of nepotism are also needed to make full use of sophisticated systems like Patriot. This is probably why Russia is in a bad spot, poor organizational culture since the fall of the Soviet Union.

[@BattleManiac7]

To chime in on the Saudi Arabia bit. My family is Filipino and my dad worked in Saudi Arabia as a telecom engineer for a couple years (including during the Gulf War). While he's never experienced anything bad aimed his way, the other migrant workers he worked with that were lower on the totem pole he told me were overly respectful. To the point that the way they talked to him kind of made him uncomfortable. He thought it was a result of them being in a very heavy handed hierarchy before working with him and the company he worked for.

[@grahamcarpenter5135]

God gulf arabs just have the worst fucking culture, I know it's a generalization but holy shit.

[@RobinTheBot]

Dubai, for non white collar workers, operates what is essentially slavery. Their passports are taken by the company, and they must do whatever the company wants or they'll not be allowed to ever leave. Abuse is common, and failure to pay is not only extremely common but also impossible to punish. So you have workers who are not paid, cannot leave, and will be shot/jailed for trying to do anything about it... Dubai is built on slavery.

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

I had a few Iranian friends and in all honesty they were good people. It's just a crazy ass religious leaders they have. I have always felt and still feel that religion and politics should be kept separate. It would be like what would happen if the Baptist took over the United States. And I'm just using the word Baptist I have no ax to grind with them. You know what happens if any religion takes over a country, they're human beings, and they become very comfortable using the power handed to them. That's why we have such a fubar Congress.

FYI: The Boeing YAL-1 Airborne Laser Testbed (formerly Airborne Laser) weapons system was a megawatt-class chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) mounted inside a modified military Boeing 747-400F. It was primarily designed as a missile defense system to destroy tactical ballistic missiles (TBMs) while in boost phase. The aircraft was designated YAL-1A in 2004 by the U.S. Department of Defense. The YAL-1 with a low-power laser was test-fired in flight at an airborne target in 2007. A high-energy laser was used to intercept a test target in January 2010, and the following month, successfully destroyed two test missiles. Funding for the program was cut in 2010 and the program was canceled in December 2011. It made its final flight on February 14, 2012, to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, to be kept in storage at the "Boneyard" by the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group. It was ultimately scrapped in September 2014 after all usable parts were removed. FROM WIKI: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1

One thing I noticed in this interview [and note this is a complement] is how many times Habitual Linecrosser says "I don't know" or "I am unfamiliar with that". Many CHUDs [Conservatives Hate Understanding Data] will view that as wishy-washy, non-confident language, since "stronk leader knows all and is never wrong". This guy talks like a scientist [again a compliment]. The most important thing to know is what you don't, or to quote Niel DeGrasse Tyson: the most dangerous thing is to know enough a subject to THINK you are right, but not enough to KNOW when you are wrong. A pundit, when asked about a subject they know little to nothing about [like when the convo went to the non-patriot systems in Ukraine], would opine and resort to rumor and memes. This guy just admits a gap in his knowledge [probably making a mental note to fill that gap later, good to know the rough capabilities of your allies] and moved on. We need more of this type of intellectual honesty in the world and less Toxic Positivity [yesmen, "fake it 'til ya make it", Dunning Kruger, and... Soviet institutionalized corruption].

People often complain about the Patriots poor performance against theater ballistic missiles in the Gulf War. Well we went from zero capability to shoot down missiles to 25%.

[@superdupergrover9857]

For a taste of what a aid defense can do passively against Anti-radiation-missles, and this is all Vietnam War era stuff that is probably obsolete btw. 1. If you have more than one radar array over a large area, you can play "monkey in the middle", turning on one radar at a time to attract the missile, switching to another to divert it and eventually the missile burns out. 2. Just don't turn on your radar. Very effective, but now you don't have radar. 3 If you know or can deduce the way the missile works, you can tune or modify your radar to use wavelengths and patterns of signals that just don't work with it. This could be a wavelength that the missile's sensors can't detect, you could use a pattern of signal so complex that it exceeds the processing power of the missile, you could use a pattern that glitches the operating system.

1:09:00 Norwegian* Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) isn't AMRAAMs stuck in a box. It is essentially a ground based air defence integration platform that essentially allows plug-and-play functionality of compatible equipment to form an integrated network. The real clever thing is that compatibility is done system side, in the same way weapons integration is done of aircraft. That means whatever is laying around in a big enough pile to be worth the cost of integration can be included in the system, be it air-to-air missiles, radar stations, FlaK or whatever.

Then they threw a bunch of Kihnzals and Iskanders and cruise missiles and drones and they “completely destroyed the Patriot battery” by slightly damaging one of the launchers with highly accurate falling debris fire. Then they fired a whole bunch of iskanders and they were shot down by the ghosts of the rockets of the “completely destroyed” patriot system.

[@herbertkeithmiller]

The most obvious and perhaps wrong because it is so obvious reason, that the decoy for the Iskander missile is easy to defeat is that it has a different trajectory than the main missile. So the missile is launched on a ballistic trajectory with a predictable Target it ejects a decoy that goes to a different track while the main munition travels along its original trajectory. Easy to tell the two apart a computer can do it.

With the sheer amount of ordinance being thrown back and forth in Ukraine, I wonder if the ammunition consumption and maintenance requirements of the Phalanx C-RAM would just make it impractical to keep operational. Also, the Phalanx is a pretty close-range system. It works for a ship or a forward military base, but you’d need a lot of them to reasonably protect a city, and even stuff that gets shot down could just come crashing into a different neighborhood. I’m not an expert on this stuff, but those are some things that come to mind.

Chemical laser - that`s a lot of powerful stored energy in liquid and gaseous form but it was still not enough to do the job. The laser also filled most of the length of the fuselage. Several things killed the program, and really the concept. They found out the 747 flexed in flight, absolutely not what you want when you have a system that relies on perferct alignment to operate. Because of the chemicals the logistic tail was huge, and if you want 24/7 ABM coverage, that means it has to fly a lot making it expensive, the aircraft was also limited in atlitude, which reduced ABM range due to atmospheric effects - it was designed to shoot down missiles in the boost phase, which also sadly meant it would have to fly close to or within the borders of an enemy to be effective making it vulnerable. In many ways the ABL was a flawed concept from the start.

The war in Yemen definitely was another highlight of training matters. UAE forces with similar equipment but better training than Saudi forces. Definitely have outperformed the Saudi military overall.

[@zipz8423]

The joke about the Saudis was, if war broke out the first people to evacuate the country would be - the Saudi military.

Wait Stinger is supposed to have a radar (+- min. 37)? I thought it was a purely passive IR seeker (wich can lock on to a cow in a autumn night, don't ask how i know).

How do you know...

@@adenkyramud5005 Well i think Ian describes the behaviour of bored soldiers best here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enKWh6aDqcp0rs0 If you put a unit on a training exercise on a meadow with a tracking trainer and cows in the area, curiousity gets to some people, they tell of their findings in the barracks after the excersise....

55:00 it makes sense, S-400 seems less reliable but has longer range

[@zipz8423]

The European system you wanted was SAMP-T or Mamba as it is called which is a Franco Italian SAM system that uses the ASTER 30 Block I active seeker missile and Arabel 360 degree radar. In that regard it has wider sensor coverage than a Patriot battery if using only one radar and not plugged into a net.

_"Ballistic missiles don't produce heat"_ - yes they do! They produce heat during reentry through friction.

who remembers that future episode of dogfights back in the day with the Laser 747 and the SR-72 fighter scene

[@Voicesonthewindadventures]

A MAJOR disadvantage the Russian military industrial complex suffers. Is inability to manufacture especially mass manufacture higher end components. I.e. T-14 needs better engine, more modern thermal/night vision optics, up to date targeting computer system, list goes on. Su-57 needs upgraded more modern engines plus itself Even in current form cannot be mass produced due to lack of component manufacturing capability. Also underlying economic reasons are not good for Russia. Seriously… If it wasn’t for Russian strategic nuclear capability. Russia would be a sitting duck against Western or Chinese military.

The Netherlands is also donating a battery of Patriots which makes it 2 donated thus far

[@liladoodle]

Not only are the Patriots gonna be clapping Putin's cheeks, but the Bradley is coming for the ride.

[@arbelico2]

Greetings . NASAMS is a very interesting anti-aircraft system and the new versions will allow launching other missiles such as: AIM-9, IRIS-T SLS, AMRAAM-ER... When they put the AIM-260 missiles on it, it will be something "terrifying" what can be done with this system.
