Wakati SAUDI ARABIA anahesabu kuwa mabilioni aliyoyatumia kununua Patriot system ni hasara, kuna watu bado wanadanganyika na propaganda za mabeberu yanayolenga kupiga pesa tu!! Na kiendacho kwa mganga hakirudi!!
The billions Saudi Arabia spends on air defenses may be wasted in the age of drone warfare
By Tim Lister, CNN
CNN —
Saudi Arabia has spent billions on state-of-the-art air defense and early warning systems, but a mix of cruise missiles and drones was able to penetrate its airspace on Saturday, inflicting substantial damage on the world’s largest oil processing plant at Abqaiq. But it also illustrates a bigger problem: the age of drone warfare is a massive challenge to governments around the world.
The cruise missiles used in the attacks were re-tooled versions of a Russian design from the 1970s – and drones are still the poor man’s missile even if they are getting more sophisticated. In other words,
5% of global oil supply was taken out by weapons worth not even millions – let alone billions – of dollars.
A US defense official told CNN that Saudi and US missile defense systems did not detect the launch nor engage the missiles.

But ballistic missiles, which leave and then re-enter the atmosphere, are not the current problem.
Saudi Arabia has six battalions of US-made Patriot batteries designed to take out incoming missiles.
FAHAMU: Saudi Arabia ina battalions sita za Patriot batteries, na kila battalion moja ina battery nne(4), kwa hiyo Saudi Arabia ina patriot batteries 24, na hazikumsaidia kuepuka kipigo!! Bado humu kuna watu wanadhani Ukraine inayopewa battery moja tu ya Patriot itaweza kumsaidia dhidi ya Urusi!!
Kwa wasiofahamu cruise missiles na drones zilizotumiwa na waasi wa Yemeni
zilitengenezwa Urusi!!
