Patriot missiles
Patriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather air and missile defence system (MIM-104) developed by the American defence contractor Raytheon (now part of RTX). It is designed to intercept tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and aircraft, and has been in service with the United States Army since 1981. The system has been widely exported to US allies, including Germany, Poland, Romania, and others. Ukraine has received Patriot systems and intercept missiles from the United States, Germany, and other partners to defend against Russian missile strikes.
