New video the the Patriot surface-to-air missile system. I talk about components of the Patriot system, particularly the missiles, how Patriot units are organized, how the different parts of the system are emplaced, unit-level tactics and its limitations. I think this is my second longest video ever.

Much of the original research was done by my friend Zach, who is more knowledgeable about missile type stuff than me. He put down like 2,200 words and I added an additional 2,000 words once I got my bearings. We're going 50/50 on the revenue for this one.

I love the use of M16’s to give a freedom unit alternative to the metric system. 😁

But seriously, your writer did a great job with this. The video is really good and very topical. Any be plans to do Aegis Ashore or an NSAMS video?

Anything is possible. We're eyeing the US Army's Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon/Multi-domain Task Forces and the things the USMC are doing with missiles

If you do USMC current missiles, please make sure you include the defense battalions of World War Two. They are the so under appreciated.
