Masterblaster,

i don't think a sleigh and some reindeer gives off enough heat or bounces enough radar for anything to lock onto it.

Rednax,

The Patriot system uses radar guidance. Radars can easily spots individual birds. A sixpack of reindeer, a sled, and one fat ass riding it should lit up like a chrismas tree for the radar.

However, according to the picture, OP only has the missiles, but no radar to guide them. In other words: he has dead weight that can’t hit shit.

Also the calculated speeds, to be able to deliver presents all over the world on a single night are enormous. And with amazing maneuverability, too!!

You’re forgetting about Rudolph: www.noradsanta.org/en/noradhq

According to NORAD, Rudolph’s nose emits in a similar part of the IR spectrum as conventional missiles.

Fat man’s not just hypersonic, he’s superluminal.

Good luck. We have totally credible intel from NORAD that Santa’s max speed is faster than starlight.

SlopppyEngineer,

Good luck targeting someone who can be at multiple places at the same time. That guy operates in eleven dimensions.

hah! The 1993 documentary The Nightmare Before Christmas already conclusively proved that Santa can’t even evade regular ol’ flak

I would honestly bet on the ancient flying wizard.

When the missile is about to strike Santa's sleigh he opens his bag of tricks and inside it goes into an extra dimensional space. Then later he gives a nice missile, refueled and deactivated with a bow on it, to a Ukrainian artillerist who's been good this year.

InfiniteStruggle,

I picture battle hardened soldier sleeping, sitting down, with arms around ballistic guides surface to air missile the way a child might hug a stuffed animal.

And whoever fired the missile gets radioactive coal ash dumped all over them.

theangryseal,

I love when weapons are called Patriot.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Especially when their job is to rush at the enemy and explode themselves.

HappycamperNZ,

C-RAM looks more Christmasy at night
