Such expensive losses.
Not only the monetary value of the systems, but the additional strikes that can be performed through gaps in air defense coverage.
Also the lost sales of those systems after this is all over. Nobody will ever buy air defence kit from Russia again.
The market will be much smaller indeed. But S400 has capabilities absent from patriot.. and I don't mean unplanned rapid disassembly.
I think the market for Russian shorad will be non existing. Their inability to deal with drones.. ouch.
