Patriot integrated system was broken in Ukraine by Kinzhal hypersonic missile. This was not 1 of 8 cheap launchers but the extremely expensive control part of the system. All Patriots in the world are now in danger of total destruction by hypersonic missiles which are available not only from Russia, but also many leading non-western countries successfully develop similar weapons (likely with Russian assistance). At the end of the day the overall anti-missile system of the integrated west are just a waste of time and money. The same is with the aircraft carriers protecting sea routs to numerous military bases. No supply rout is safe now. Raytheon does not look a safe investment in the long run.
