The US has never had a near-tier adversary before now. Forking out millions of dollars for overpriced weapons from private companies isn’t going to cut it anymore. Low cost, high volume is required. Pay the private companies do the design work and come up with a manufacturing branch of the military to reduce cost.
That's how it was pre WW2 then post WW2 it all changed supposedly to support the arms industry but all it started was a withering welfare industry with 1000 expensive failures for 1 success.
Lasers can only travel in a straight line and need visual line of sight, unfortunately they need a lot more work and probably won’t replace missiles for a long time
THAAD operates at a different altitude than Patriot. There's very little mission overlap. It just turns out Patriot has become more effective than expected.
Hello. a bit disappointed when I read that your mesils are so expensive, I thought they bought from the USA because you were cheap because you had a lot of sales.. well you are looking at it now but the price has to come down on everything you sell so we can get a lot more weapons stock now and in the future plus have at good prices have in us more sales and earn more and the world is safer.
Instead of making their own air defense missile they should collaborate with israel to upgrade the arrow 3 which is proven and tested in real combat against saturation ballistic missile attack. Israel's layer defense compose of iron dome, david sling and arrow 3 is more effective and low cost against medium to long range attack than the US systems.
I hope you understand what that means: being subject to Israeli votes and shenanigan. Not that Israel is particularly popular at the moment I'd add, so going together in a small ship in the middle of the sea could bring consequences.
We all saw how the mighty Arrow intercepted a dozen Iranian missiles over that airbase, oh .....wait..... those missiles were recorded slaming into the base....😆

@tybeedave US arms industry tends have more failures then the education and knowledge would warrant 😉
Agree. Except the key is you have to be cheaper than your opponent. USA has no chance making anything cheaper than China.
We don't have a near peer adversary now.
Low-Tier Future is beamed

For short range you forgot about C-Ram ;)
Should also mention that Enduring Shield IFPC also has functionality to intercept rockets, artillery shells and mortar rounds.
We already have the THAD system that is more advanced than patriot

Maybe a antiaicraft missile like Stinger will be a future of next generation for US army!?

The US and Israel already collaborate on missile tech . The US just has different battlefield needs but they both have access to the same tech
