I don’t think so, Hellfire has poor thrust and mobility, you can’t even hit a moving heli 8km away, how can you use it defend top jets?
any example? British has a trailer Rapier missile, but US? Patriot isn’t a SPAA and it uses separate radar.
Looked into modern US SPAA a bit more, Stryker IM-SHORAD with 1x30mm Chaingun, 1x7.62mm M240, and options for Stingers, Hellfires, and drumroll… AIM-9X Sidewinders. It’d probably be the best way to introduce them, after all.

Really, I didn’t know, all information I can find is about Stingers and Hellfires.
The launcher it carries can apparently mount all the aforementioned plus the AIM-9X.
any pics?
No pictures I can find, given it’s a relatively new development, however…
“Stryker Mobile SHORAD Launcher (MSL) and Stryker Anti-UAV Defense System (AUDS): In August 2017, Boeing and General Dynamics unveiled Mobile SHORAD Launcher (MSL) fitted with an Avenger turret for short-range air defense and operated by a three-man crew. The turret replaces the passenger compartment. Standard FIM-92 Stinger pod can be switched with launcher rails to fire Longbow Hellfire and AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles.”
Edit: Found one! :D

Good
about this, is my memory correct? SHORAD’s AGM-114L uses a different warhead, with VT fuse. does it keep it’s HEAT part, like an ADATS, or just a HE-VT.
Lol you obviously never played USSR T-72/T-90 variants to make such a statement, you’ll change your mind after you played them, Leopard 2, Abrams and compare to the ones without reverse speed and non-existence gun depression.
I can’t seem to find anything on a proximity fuse warhead, just that it’s apparently supposed to be precise enough for direct hits with radar guidance.
I think it will play LAV-AD’s hydra’s role, make it a IFV with F&F missile.

True, Longbow for helis/ground targets and AIM-9X for air targets.

Ohhhh yes! M-SHORAD! My specialty! We need Gaijin to add the Increment 1 or possibly the increment 3.
I have a topic on the M-SHORAD and am currently working on building a suggestion for Gaijin. So. Yeah!
Edit: here’s the post I made

But still difficult dealing with planes in long range, a pity. Just be better than ADATS, better than not
Ariete Challenger Merkava and Leclerc exist so not quite

There is so many incorrect and absurd points in OPs delusional statement that can naturally only occur from someone who plays absolutely nothing but the US.

We already had the event. Plus, in all honesty I’d rather the new M10 booker than an M8, simply because it’s newer.

Germany didn’t get anything new in top tier. Matter of fact the highest thing America got was a 10.0 while the highest thing Germany got was a 8.7. Britain didn’t get any new top tier. japan got two top tier but one is a ship and one is a premium. Sweden got one but it was also a premium and it’s all they got. New Israel top tier is yet another premium and a helicopter almost no one will get. So only a about 3 nations got new top tier that isn’t a premium or isn’t a ship/heli. American and Russia get the most out of updates. Also keep in mind this is an update right after the December one. It’s going to be a little less exciting than the f-15 or the Su-27.
