At a high level right? Like both "PESA" radars, but completely different implementations. Similar, but not at all the same missles, etc.
And it's not clear a Patriot system was in Irbil, in the right spot anyway, right?
So this all could mean something, but that's unclear.
- sudosysgen 5y agoIt seems the air defences were indeed in Erbil: https://globalcomment.com/how-effective-air-defences-in-iraqi-kurdistans-erbil-airport-reduce-risk-of-escalation-between-us-and-iran-backed-militias/ https://globalcomment.com/how-effective-air-defences-in-iraq... As far as implementation, yes of course the implementation would be different, but it bears to notice it is made by the same company. Is it really reasonable to expect Raytheon to fail at making competent air defences and greatly overstate their capabilities for Patriot, whereas their naval missiles are nearly perfect?
