The United States sent inspectors to check the Patriot system after the Armed Forces reported the US side that the system apparently had damage. Representatives of the United States noted that the installation itself in the functional state, and that the radar component of Patriot - one of the most important in this SDR - was not injured. That is, you do not even have to pick up the Patriot system for repair.
The full Patriot battery includes six main components: generators, radar, control station, antenna, starting installation and intercepting missiles. All this functions as the only system that leads the Patriot released to the target. It is unknown which part of the Patriot got the damage, as well as whether the hypersonic "Dagger" rocket or its debris. Kiev said the day before that it was possible to intercept six Russian "daggers".
The speaker of the Air Force Yuri Ignat noted that the American Patriot system cannot be destroyed by the Dagger. According to him, it is not necessary to worry about the fate of "patriot", because technically it is a complex system in which the components are located at a sufficient distance from each other. Recall that the Ministry of Defense commented the statement of the Russian Federation about the "destruction" of Patriot.
