Patriot ZRK has become more effective in the Ukrainian air defense system: expert argued

He specified that the systems have undergone improvements after analyzing their use by Ukrainian anti -aircraft anti -aircraft, which operate in constant attacks of ballistic and aerobalist missiles. Previously, the contribution to the development of Patriot was made by military from Saudi Arabia, who used complexes against drones and Hussite drones and missiles.

However, according to Rogovei, it is Ukrainian practice that has brought the system to a new level, especially in the context of counteracting modern rocket threats. Commenting on the words of the expert, the "miller" observers suggested that it was a unique experience in the use of these complexes in PAC-3 modification for intercepting Russian missiles X-47m2 "Dagger", which were previously considered invulnerable to air defense.

In addition, Ukrainian calculations were the first in the world to successfully destroy such goals. In the future, regular interception of the ballistic missiles of the Iskander complex and the North Korean KN-23, which Russia applies on the Ukrainian Front. The Patriot Pac-3 anti-aircraft missile complex is one of the most perfect elements of the modern airfront and anti-missile defense system.

Developed in the United States and was the result of the evolution of previous versions of the complex, PAC-3 focused primarily on intercepting small-range ballistic missiles, winged missiles, as well as piloted and unmanned aerial vehicles. The main distinguishing feature of the PAC-3 version is the transition from MIM-104 missiles to new, more compact and maneuverable PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE).

These missiles use the "Hit-to-Kill" principle, that is, the physical destruction of the target by direct hit, without the use of the fragmental combat part. The complex is equipped with a powerful AN/MPQ-65 radar station with a passive phase antenna grate, capable of simultaneously accompanying many goals and managing launches. PAC-3 is also highly automated and integration into a multi-level air defense system, providing reliable protection for strategically important objects.
