Interviews with US Army folks involved in the training and deployment of Patriot for Ukraine. Lots of interesting details. Notably the A50 shootdown confirmed here as being from a Patriot "SAMbush".

Great post! This is one of the most informative posts ever on this thread coming from people who were involved. It is interesting in many ways. One of the most informative was the steps that were and are being taken to turn what is now an iADS into an IADS. The "layering" aspect is also interesting. The discussion does show that to build a comprehensive IADS takes lots of people and lots of equipment. You do need NASAMS or similar to relieve the Patriot of the necessity of defending itself against lower altitude air threats.
