Despite the fact that Russian ballistic missiles can now deviate from their trajectory, Patriot systems are successfully intercepting them. One of the latest indicators is 6 out of 9 missiles intercepted

Yurii Ihnat, the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Air Force stated this, Babel reports.
When the Russian forces launch ballistic missiles, Patriot automatically calculates the trajectory of the missile and the meeting point of its missile with the ballistic missile.
Currently, Russian ballistic missiles can oscillate left and right during their descent, which complicates the operation of Patriot.
In addition, Russian ballistics can release up to six false targets that distract air defense. This is not a new technology; it has been used for about a year, and it does not render Patriot powerless against this type of missile.
- On May 24, Yurii Ihnat said that the Russian army has modernized the ballistic missiles it uses to strike Ukraine. This has complicated the work for Patriot air defense systems, which are capable of shooting down ballistic missiles.
