MIM-104 Patriot is a modern US medium-range missile system. The first prototypes of the Patriot missile emerged in the late 1960s and entered the US Armed Forces in 1981. The latest versions of MIM-104 missiles can hit the air targets at the altitude up to 25 km. It has a range up to 160 km and can carry a war head of up to 90 kilograms. The Patriot system in the US army is usually based on a wheelchair - mostly M983 Oshkosh trucks.

The MIM-104 Patriot system was developed by Raytheon to replace the MIM-23 HAWK and MIM-14 Nike Hercules missiles. Studies began in 1961 and the successful shooting attempt dates back to 1969. However, soon after the US Armed Forces changed the requirements of the system and decided to use the follow -up system through missiles. , if the information about the target of a already fired missile was gathered on its own. This requirement significantly increased the difficulty level of the entire initiative and significantly extended the work. The high demands of the American Armed Forces were not possible until the end of the 1970s, and since 1981, the MIM-104 Patriot system began to come into play. The Patriot system was initially designed as an air defense system to fight enemy planes, but since the beginning of the 1990s, the MIM-104C missile was released and the system achieved this ability with the use of much more advanced guidance systems and radars. To fight the enemy's short and medium -range ballistic missiles. The system was primarily used in the war in the desert storm operation in 1990-1991. The operators of the Patriot system are the US armed forces as well as others, as well as others, Greece, the Netherlands, Israel, Japan and Germany.
