Interesting. In the beginning Patriot performed much better.
This isn’t surprising.
I basically explained why Europe was looking at SAMP/T a while ago and there were many many people who insisted PATRIOT was the god king of defense. It isnt and never was. It has a very explicit job and within that realm it does extremely well. SAMP/T on the other hand isnt designed around an explicit job. It’s designed around modularity and expandability. The agnostic design of SAMP/T allows it to pivot to new threats and thus over time it becomes stronger.
It is easier to avoid situations where the PATRIOT shines than it is to brute force the defense.
Just FYI, several experts have come out and said this is categorically incorrect and likely not even possible.
The SAMP/T radar is a generation behind the patriots.
MAYBE AMERICA CAN LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE FRENCH!
After reading up on available sources, I think the main difference is in the radar systems. SAMP/T radars can search/track the full 360 degrees, whereas Patriot can search a 90 degree arc and track a 120 degree arc. If you know the approximate position of a Patriot system you can program your missiles to fly a route that can evade its radar. Also SAMP/T claims to have a longer range than Patriot, which increases the chance of interception before the missile enters terminal homing. I may be wrong, but I’m willing to be educated by somebody more knowledgeable…
