@JamesRaxz @hartpunkt: There are trade offs with either option. It depends on what your priorities are. For the US Army it was strategic mobility. Trailers are easier to transport by air.

@ThomasBuchhol20Replying to @ZizkaFella: I don't think the US Army has any operational PATRIOT units that have not been upgraded to a PAC-3 config.

@ZizkaFella A new PATRIOT Fire Unit is more expensive. A depreciated one from inventory is not. Also you can provide a lot more equipment when it's being valued correctly pursuant to the law & regulations, which most of the Drawdowns have not been.

@MassimoRonzullo: 1. Who said the first battery that the US Army drewdown was worth $1 billion?
2. The services were all overvaluing their equipment. After 2 audits, they should now be valued correctly.

@iserozhko @vokinburt_avia: Battery is the organizational term the US Army uses for a Fire Unit. The price depends on the configuration you order. You can have a PATRIOT FU with just 1 or 2 launchers or 8 launchers; it could have just 1 radar or 3. The order might include no missiles or a lot of missiles.

@StijnOerde @Dobo46436320 @JScoreForever @NOELreports: If the US paid Raytheon to max out production back in the spring of 2022 then they would probably be at or close to 12/year by now.

@bayraktar_1love: A new PATRIOT Fire Unit can be a little as $300 million, so a depreciated one will be a fraction of that.

https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3835746/biden-administration-announces-additional-security-assistance-for-ukraine/
P.S: This is an impressively low estimated cost for a package that includes an entire Patriot battery.

Yikes!
Biden: "And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, [...] ladies and gentlemen, President Putin."

@What_a_srprse @bayraktar_1love: Battery is an organizational term that the US Army uses for their Fire Units. FU is the actual technical term for the components that make up a functioning system (launchers, radar, ECS, support components).

@tymofiy @bayraktar_1love: Germany has just signed two separate $1.2 billion DCS contracts with Raytheon for 4 PAC-3 config PATRIOT Fire Units. That's $300 million each. If you're spending $1 billion on 1 FU that means you're buying missiles too.

@hank_tuttle2 @bayraktar_1love: A US Army battery is comprised of 1 Fire Unit. Other countries may use the term "battery" for multiple FUs.

It is hilarious that people think that Biden correcting himself makes this any better.
He's too old to President. Full stop. So is Trump. America needs to do better.
