A 2,000 dollar drone can destroy a patriot radar dish

US To Deploy 200 Troops, Patriot Missile System To Saudi Arabia; Oil Jumps
The Department of Defense has finally revealed some of the details of Trump's grand deployment or appearance of doing something without doing much and response to the Sept. 14 Saudi Aramco attacks which the administration blamed on Iran. The Pentagon is set to send 200 personnel and missile defense equipment to Saudi Arabia, specifically a total of one Patriot missile and its support personnel, which further includes Sentinel radars meant to detect any incoming attack, according to a Thursday announcement.
The news was a sufficient catalyst to spike the price of brent crude, which rapidly moved into the green upon news of the Pentagon announcement, after trading in the red all day.

The Yemeni rebels have already show their capability to destroy Patriot radar.  But then again, the Yemeni rebels may just let the radar dish stand and the army can pay 3 million per 2,000 dollar drone shot down. Or the drone can fly low, below the radar horizon.

Right now our military is stunned, they have not figured out a response.  They need to develop swarming defense drones, much better than patriot missiles.
