The Patriot system is an American medium- and long-range surface-to-air missile system, used since the 1980s (the Cold War era) up to present day. Renowned for its effective use during Operation Desert Storm (the First and Second Gulf Wars), the system is operated by numerous NATO countries, including the United States, Germany, Japan, Poland, South Korea, and Israel. The Patriot MIM-104 currently represents a key element of air and missile defense for many armies around the world.
