Every Ukrainian downing of Russian hypersonic Kinzhal with the Patriot missiles will improve the Patriot missile intercept algorithm - and increase accuracy for all Patriot systems, a benefit for the US, the rest of NATO, and other Patriot AD users. Added ROI.

Pretty much what those weapon systems were built to do. It's a rare chance to test them against real world targets...

I wonder how the medium range systems like IRIS-T or NASAMS would fare against them. Not that we should let them even get that far. It's just so satisfying to watch all of Russia's super-weapons fail so miserably.

There was talk in German Media a few weeks ago, that IRIS-T had a 100% success rate. Every single rocket IRIS-T fired shot another one down.

Not sure I believe it, but I wouldn't be surprised much.
