Patriot air defense missile is the third generation of medium long range and medium high altitude surface to air missile system developed by the United States. It was proposed and developed by the U.S. Army to adapt to the threat caused by the future complex combat environment and the changing and developing air assault force. It began to be equipped and put into service in 1984. It replaced the mim-14 air defense missile and became the main medium and high altitude air defense weapon of the U.S. military. After 2008, it was gradually replaced by the theater high-altitude regional defense system.
