Dunno. And we ain’t supposed to know. What I do know, is they’re better than the other guys.

The United States showed the world if you are relying on the S300, we can jam the system. By the time the system rebooted he was already in US custody.

Any invader would have to cross a lot of ocean or land unless the attack came from Mexico or Canada.

We have also shown that no, a bunch of $500 drones do not have the same capabilities as a fricking F35

Fort Bliss and a couple state national guards have them. They will deploy for some national events like a Superbowl or presidential inauguration.

Mobile Patriot systems.

Back in the 60s there were Nike Batteries near every major coastal city and base. There are YouTube videos of people exploring a couple of them.

The Atlantic, Pacific, and GOA are Americas air defense systems. ICBM, or sub launched misses are the only things that may have a chance to get to us without being able to have a response in time.

What makes our military impressive is how we can dictate air and naval space by our whole DOD (DOW, now) and Coast Guard (DOJ, but will fall under DOW in wartime)

No country would be foolish enough to physically invade in a jointly manner like We can. Way too many factors involved, Japan did consider it in ww2, had they attempted so, the bombs would have dropped sooner

Look to the west. It’s called the Pacific Ocean. To the east is the Atlantic Ocean.

Japan Dec 7, 1941 says F your ocean blue.

Suspect any attack would be inside-out, starting stateside, via cyber and decapitation while POTUS overseas.

Chick fil A’s perfect for counter attack.
