'If it flies it dies': Why America's ever-evolving Patriot missiles are so popular

Donald Trump—never one to shy away from controversy—has done
another dramatic U-turn. After flatly refusing to send any more
Patriot missiles to Ukraine, he’s now decided to send them
anyway. So what’s changed? And why do these missiles matter so
much?


Let’s cut through the noise. Are Patriot missiles genuinely
game-changers on the battlefield, or are they just a powerful
symbol in modern warfare? To get to the truth, we’re speaking to
someone who’s actually been there—Air Marshal Edward Stringer. He
spent 39 years in the RAF, flew combat missions over Iraq, and
went up against anti-aircraft systems himself. If anyone knows
what Patriot missiles can really do, it’s him.
