This is a weird set of evidence to pull out when there's a war going on in Europe where the interception rate of Kinzhal missiles went from 0% to 100% under a barrage attack, specifically after the Patriot missile system was installed (and in said barrage where the Patriot installation itself was specifically targeted in essentially the most optimum possible attack scenario).

The salient point about old news about the Patriot system is not about technical capabilities, but about how, years ago, it was first reported as being effective and then as not so effective.

It could be completely different technology today, but still have the same lack of accurate reporting.

How would we know? "Those who say don't know, and those who know don't say"

I was merely pointing out that Patriot systems are not 100% accurate as OP had said. Nothing specifically about the recent events in Ukr.
