Does the US not have enough of their own Patriot missiles?
Stop, think for a second and ask yourself what America would do with these missiles given the current situation in eastern Europe.
Intercepting shit? It’s not like we need patriots for bombing things since we have plenty of other shit.
Ukraine…the war in Ukraine…the USA is going to load these onto a plane and send them to Ukraine…to kill or intercept russian shit.
Good?
Edit: oh I originally read the other comment as another “oh no don’t send shit to Ukraine we’re all gonna die”
Yes, it’s a good thing.
Good thing indeed
So Japan is sending US missiles it manufactures under license to the US.
The Japanese government is set to provide the United States with the Patriot interceptor missiles owned by Japan’s Self-Defense Forces.
The government last Friday revised its guidelines on defense equipment transfers. This made it possible for Japan to export equipment manufactured domestically under license from a foreign firm to a country where the licenser is based.
The systems that Tokyo has decided to send to the US under the revised rules are PAC-2 units, which are used to mainly intercept aircraft and cruise missiles, as well as PAC-3 units, which intercept ballistic missiles.
Japan’s Defense Ministry said the decision was made at the request of the US, whose stockpiles of interceptor missiles have dwindled as it sent military aid to Ukraine.
Tokyo plans to send the PAC-2 units currently owned by the nation’s Self-Defense Forces to the US, because officials say it would take several years for Japanese makers to produce new ones from scratch and export them.
Defense Ministry officials said they will further discuss details of the plan with their US counterparts next year.
The officials added that Japan’s own stockpiles of Patriot missiles are insufficient.
The fact that US has to run around the world and pull weapons from their vassals really highlights how US military industrial complex simply can’t keep up with the proxy war US got itself into.
Russia is buying artillery shells from North Korea.
North Korea.
Do enlighten us why you find it so shocking for Russia to buy shells from one of a handful countries in the world that’s technologically advanced enough to develop nuclear weapons? Last I checked, DPRK weapons were good enough to kill the yanks.
