Shows you how little bang for buck a Western military has. Poland is a nation 38 million people. They can not afford even a mere 16 Patriot launchers with 4 radars. 16 launcher and 4 radars is by Russian standards a single brigade set or 2 battalion sets. Poland has over 2% of GDP allocated to defense. That is a lot for any country and yet they can't afford anything because Yankee junk is 5x overpriced and is priced for Saudi sheiks and no one else.
Russia has 147 milllion people or 3.8x the population of Poland but on paper Russia is a poorer country per capita. Call it 20% poorer per capita but somehow Russia has managed to afford to stand up not 1 pathetic brigade set of missiles but freakin 22 brigade sets of S-400s and now 8 more brigade of S-300V4s and I won't even go into 2 Buk-M3 brigades (equivalent to your Patriots) and all the older S-300 systems still in service. Poland under Russian management would have have 9 or 10 freakin S-400 brigade sets in service today. But they picked Yankees. So today they have zero and their entire airspace is wide open. When war with the Martians comes they will be unarmed and unprepared while the Martians with their freaking 30+ brigade sets can take on the entire NATO alliance despite being out manned like 8 to 1. |

Date: December 11th, 2017 9:47 PM Author: amethyst area Yeah actually. The S-400 beat the Patriot in tenders in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and S. Korea. The S.Koreans actually kind of co-designed it. They call theirs the K-SAM. The Russkies used the same missiles in the naval variant as they sold the S. Koreans. The ground variants are substantially different though. At the end of the day even the Saudi Sheiks got tired of being raped and bought S-400s. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3825436&forum_id=2#34894328) |
