Patriot Missile System How it Works | Air Defence Missiles 

Correction and Notes from Audiences "Strayer" 4 pac 3 missiles can be placed inside a containter and a launcher has 4 containers, so 16 missiles in a launcher. I think video shows a pac 2 missile. One container has one pac 2 missile, so 4 missiles in a launcher. @Chris1982416 was an Patriot operator, & he corrected me about PAC-2 launcher payload, it can hold 8. "Adrián Paz" Good video. A small correction. The missile launcher you are showing is the PAC-2 GME which has 4 missile. The PAC 3 CRI launcher has a total of 16 missiles and the newest PAC 3 SME has 12 missiles per launcher. Launchers can also be configured to have all three missiles. For example: 1 PAC2GEM, 4 PAC3CRI and 6 PAC3SME. "jordan ryan" 1 correction. A patriot launcher can hold up to 16 PAC-3 missiles. Last generation, PAC-2 missiles are bigger, thus a launcher holds 4. "Ahmed Helmy "pac3 launcher = 16 missiles / range = 70 aero / 35 ballistic pac2 launcher = 4 missiles / range = 160 aero / 30 ballistic "TURKWING" very good explanation on video...Thanks. Patriot radar azimuth coverage 120° for target searcing mode and only 90° for target firing mode. So at least 240° of azimuth is free to send cruise missile to destroy Patriot radar. 1 battery needs 3 Radar for full coverage. Also, radar range is limited to detect low RCS targets such as drone emits noise jamming signals to blind and next coming enemy ordonance can harm Patriot's radar. "Ragnarok" Newest radar have 360 degree coverage,the older systems only 120 degree John Silver It has a new LTAMDS triple-band S/C/X radar. With Link 16, other radars can also be used. Also it has a new PAAC-4 SkyCeptor interceptor. Based on David's Sling Stunner missiles that can reach up to 300km with Mach 7.5 terminal speed and has a dual seeker with active radar and infrared IF homing. Additionally US has a new launcher called Enduring Shield that can incorporate any missile including SkyCeptor. With the upcoming IBCS (Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System) network for the US Army, any interceptor and/or launcher and/or radar can just be a lego block. Similar to US Navy’s Aegis system, its a centralized battle command center. Many systems can be connected including NASAMS and Enduring Shield, SHORAD, Patriot, MEADS, and THAAD. Even radars from other system like Aegis SPY-1/SPY-6 and F-35’s AN/APG-81 can also be used. This allows a different radar to use a different interceptor to engage a different target.

This system shoot down a hypersonic missile over Kiyv. Good work!

I know some may not believe me but I actually worked on the trade studies and prototype testing of that propulsion control system towards the top of the missile that quickly changes the direction of the missile in flight when I was at Northrop Grumman. And it’s super cool to see that the concepts that my team and I modeled and did ballistics analysis for is actually implemented now into the missiles. It’s called the monolithic attitude control motor system

Good stuff. Thanks for the clear idea on how the Patriots work

Дякую за "Патріотів"! Дуже ефективна зброя.(Thanks for "Patriots"! A very effective weapon.)

excellent animation and narration. very well explained. liked and subscribed.

Great stuff as usual, thanks!

Very informative and comprehensive video, thanks for sharing it.

Excellent work.✌️ You deserve at least 10M subscriberes. Lets do this, folks.

It's always good to have accurate information when discussing military technology. It's fascinating to see how these missile defense systems work, and the Patriot Missile System is no exception. The technology and capabilities of these systems continue to advance, making them an important part of modern warfare. 🚀💥🛡

Another Amazing Video from Amazing Staff.

The Republic of the Philippines really needs it! Hopefully our country can acquire it soon! 🇺🇸🇵🇭💪🏼💯

Very Comprehensive and well narrated video, already subbed. Thanks for posting. 🇺🇸

Imagine the amount of engineering that went into this system. Unbelievable.

Very detailed explanation 👏

Great Video ! Thanks !

The Patriot system saved my family from a Scud missile attack on their way to school 🤍

Excellent work, fantastic animation, congratulations

Great content, Thank u very much.

Very well explained. Very good. 👍👍👍💕💕💕

Awesome Animation

Video made by Ryan Macbeth about how the Patriot works on an operacional level is a great complement to this video.

Great program and graphics

amazing work!

every time patriot arrives, "kindzhal" flies back and drops on Moscow! I already watched video, and I REALLY enjoy it! Good job, guys! Keep it up!

Fantastic quality video. Thank you for the content 👍

Great channel very useful 😊

Great video thanks 😊

Thanks from Ukraine! Patriot - is the best ever!

Awesome 👍 . please, make videos on submarines. ❤from 🇮🇳.

Was expecting a little more details but it's ok too. Good work.

👍🏻👍🏻. Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Brilliant ❤

It works very well !

Awesome technology

This was very informative and spoken very precisely. As opposed to the other narrators that feel the need to yell or talk ridiculously fast. And it was simple facts and easy to follow. Like "Air Defense For Dummies" lol This was really cool thank you Edit: After seeing more super videos you've received a new subscriber 😍

Nice animations Mister. Btw is there any pros and cons for Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow 3?

Nice video & animation. 😀

Very impressive madam. I can't believe it. how it destroyed the hypersonic missile. Respectable technology

Another correction, their is another vehicle in any patriot battery that while not essential for firing the missile, it is essential to the idea of an Integrated Air Defense System, the BCP. The BCP allows commanders to access Datalinks to see a wider picture of the battlespace and identify targets before they're acquired by the radar.

4 days ago I’ve heard Patriot shot down “hypersonic” Kinzhal for the first time in history above my hometown Kyiv, it was Really loud

Thank u very much

Earned my 👍

Please make a video about iron dome

Could u guys cover how IFF works, particularly for MANPADs?

Amazing animations.

Amazing animation! Cant imagine how many hours editing... Thanks😊😊

You didn't mention role of Antenna Mast Group during the fire🤔 What is its purpose, 1) to connect command center with launcher or 2) to connect radar with command center 3) or to connect missile with command center? 4) or all at once. Everything else was very cool🙂

I have a bad neighbor too where can i buy

nice

Great 📹

Thanks from Kyiv! For now it does its job very well. Last week I saw from my window how pac-3 missiles launched against russian ballistic missiles. That was pretty loud and scary.

Дуже цікаво і пізнавально!

Very informative video..... Please make video on submarine and aircraft Carriers

Very interesting

pac3 launcher = 16 missiles / range = 70 aero / 35 ballistic pac2 launcher = 4 missiles / range = 160 aero / 30 ballistic

next video title: how it doesn't work

It's got to be the best air defence in the world going all the way back to it's beginning & it's been upgraded to make it on a lot of countries wish lists lol 😂👌

Cool😮

Excellent explanation 👌💯✨️🇳🇱

Correction there is PAC-2, PAC-3, PAC-3 MSE and the latest PAAC-4 also called SkyCeptor missile. The 3D modell in this video looks like a PAC-2 missile but PAC-3 was mentioned.

Never rely on Russian or Chinese military stats, they are always inflated. To say they can get an S300 firing a missile within 5 min of driving along is BS

awesome

Neato.

How far apart do they spread the individual components of the system to avoid damage?

Best part about the patriot, if it cannot intercept the Dagger it has a failsafe that is throwing 5 launchers and a radar station on the way. Another good point is that half the missiles fall on allied territory so you actually didn't spent U$ 150 million, just 70-80 and the rest can be recycled.

It’s so powerful its the best 👍

Thank You

Can't wait for your videos

A swarm of 30 cheap drones can override and overwhelm the massively expensive Patriot system.

Video yang menarik untuk disimak 👍👍👍👍

Nice.

It works as the sitting duck (once Kinzal is released from MIG).

Thanks for the video it allways makes my day. could you guys make a discord server where we can give ideas and stay bether in touch with the channel and to discuss diffrent weapons?

I remember this system did not do very well in Israel back in 91, during the 1st Gulf War. By now it has had plenty of time to mature and develop into a great system. In some ways, this video is too informative and may give the other side crucial information (they probably already have it anyway)...

Пэтриот передает большой привет из Киева. Хорошая мишень для тренировки и калибровки точности стрельбы Кинжала.

Hiii sir amazing work as always can you make on US aircraft carrier or maybe bomber's as you wish

Nice

It works great. Shout-out to its engineers from Kyiv, Ukraine ✊

How it works…? Not very well against Russian missives apparently.

Nice to meet you, I'm kinzhal.

Terminal flight guidance assembly would be directional and active. mid-course nav would be handled in a closed loop using GPS. that gets it to an approximate location without alerting the target because it has not directly detected it, it's only going off preliminary flight direction from the launch control radar.

- 1 batery last night😂

How is the one in kiev?😂😂🎉

Great animation: the SAMP-T WILL BE THE NEXT?

The 4 amg antenna don’t continuously spin lol they can be toggled left or right but only so far. The amg never drives with the masts up, only stowed. And the sides have big batwing platforms. They are not on trailers. They are directly mounted on big truck beds. The ecs has 3 manstations. The one behind the other 2 doesn’t have a crt screen. The other 2 have been upgraded to large touchscreens. And believe it or not, they now have 2 recaro racing seats lol. Good job on this video. Might want to mention the radars don’t have to continuously rotate due to triangulation.

They can't stop russian missiles 😂😂😂

RIP kinzhal.

one of the BEST SAM.

Thanks

The Best feature of Patriot PAC 3 is to serve as Kinzhal target.😁😁😁😁😁

You missed Step 11: *The missile knows where it is, because it knows where it isn't*

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, Or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is Greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

"The car salesman assured me the car I bought would perform with the caravan attached to deal with the high mountain roads"

The title of this video is misleading. It does not work. Especially when Kinzhals are around.
