Ukraine<\/span> has received<\/span> a new<\/span> batch of<\/span> PAC-<\/span> 3<\/span> missiles<\/span> for<\/span> Patriot<\/span> anti-aircraft<\/span> missile<\/span> systems<\/span> . The delivery<\/span> was made<\/span> by Germany,<\/span> which<\/span> will allow it<\/span> to strengthen<\/span> air<\/span> defense.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This<\/span> was<\/span> reported<\/span><\/a> by the Ministry of<\/span> Defense<\/span> of Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The<\/span> agency<\/span> noted<\/span> that<\/span> the new<\/span> ammunition<\/span> will help to<\/span> more effectively<\/span> intercept<\/span> ballistic,<\/span> hypersonic<\/span> , and<\/span> maneuverable<\/span> targets.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PAC-<\/span> 3<\/span> missiles<\/span> operate<\/span> using<\/span> hit<\/span> -to<\/span> -kill<\/span> technology<\/span> –<\/span> they<\/span> destroy<\/span> the target<\/span> not<\/span> with fragments,<\/span> but<\/span> with a direct<\/span> hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“<\/span> PAC-<\/span> 3<\/span> destroys<\/span> the target<\/span> not<\/span> with fragments,<\/span> but<\/span> with a direct<\/span> hit<\/span> using<\/span> hit<\/span> -to<\/span> -kill technology<\/span> .<\/span> Destruction<\/span> of the warhead<\/span> in<\/span> the air<\/span> reduces<\/span> risks<\/span> to<\/span> cities<\/span> and<\/span> critical<\/span> infrastructure,”<\/span> the<\/span> Ministry of Defense explained<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The<\/span> agency<\/span> added<\/span> that<\/span> the missile<\/span> is capable<\/span> of<\/span> speeds<\/span> up to<\/span> 6,170<\/span> km<\/span> per<\/span> hour,<\/span> is equipped with<\/span> an active<\/span> radar<\/span> homing<\/span> head<\/span> , and<\/span> can<\/span> sharply<\/span> change<\/span> trajectory<\/span> to<\/span> intercept<\/span> maneuvering<\/span> targets.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One<\/span> Patriot<\/span> launcher<\/span> can<\/span> carry<\/span> up to<\/span> 16<\/span> PAC-<\/span> 3<\/span> missiles<\/span> , allowing it<\/span> to<\/span> destroy<\/span> up to<\/span> 16<\/span> targets<\/span> without<\/span> reloading<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The<\/span> Ministry of Defense<\/span> also<\/span> emphasized<\/span> that<\/span> the Ukrainian<\/span> air defense<\/span> aims<\/span> to<\/span> shoot down<\/span> at least<\/span> 95%<\/span> of missiles<\/span> and<\/span> drones.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that the Italian<\/span> defense<\/span> company<\/span> Leonardo<\/span> plans<\/span> to test<\/span> its<\/span> latest<\/span> Michelangelo<\/span> air<\/span> defense<\/span> system<\/span> in<\/span> Ukraine.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a reminder, in the area of Donetsk airport, the Ukrainian Defense Forces used ATACMS and SCALP missiles to hit a Russian military facility. This is a place where Shahed attack drones are stored, trained, and launched.<\/a> <\/p>\n
