The Patriot air defense missile system, developed by the American company Raytheon, includes air interception missiles and a high-performance radar system. These systems are very effective against airplanes and tactical missiles, with a hit probability of 0.8-0.9 and 0.6-0.8, respectively.
Currently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have three Patriot batteries, and the fourth system is expected to arrive in the near future. This supply is part of the international support for Ukraine’s defense efforts.
