PAC-3 Missiles Defeat Tactical Ballistic Missile And Cruise Missile In Test

The Lockheed martin PAC-3 missile successfully intercepted a TBM and cruise missile and destroyed them. THE PAC-3 will be one of the Intercepting missiles planed to be used by the US military as part of the Anti missile shield.

Lockheed Martin Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missiles successfully intercepted and destroyed an incoming tactical ballistic missile (TBM) and a low-altitude cruise missile in a dual test Thursday at White Sands Missile Range, NM.
The battle-proven PAC-3 Missile is the world's only fielded hit-to-kill, kinetic energy air defense missile.
In the dual engagement test, two PAC-3 Missiles were "ripple-fired" at an incoming Patriot-As-A-Target (PAAT) TBM, a legacy Patriot missile modified to represent a short-range TBM.
In a second simultaneous engagement, a single PAC-3 Missile was fired at a low-flying MQM-107D cruise missile target. Preliminary data indicates both the TBM target and cruise missile target were destroyed. All test objectives were met.

So as I asked in another thread, how does this system compare to the S-300/400 series Russian design? Better or worse? Include the PAC-2 -vs- SA-10,,,

PAC-3 has on 15-70km range. I would faster believe in THAAD. 15-70km is very little time to take a missle out.

Out,
Russian

Keep an eye out for the MIM-104E PAC-2 Variant.

Van,
What do you know about it? Is the PAC-3 suppose to replace the PAC-2???
And the specs of he "new" PAC-2???
You have my interest...
