Watch: PATRIOT INTERCEPTORS VS JUNO – TEST FOOTAGE (2016) As the U.S. announces a pause in defense aid to Ukraine, including Patriot missile systems, this 2016 footage shows a successful test of PAC‑3 MSE interceptors taking down a JUNO ballistic missile at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) and Ft. Wingate. Why it matters: Patriot systems have been vital in defending Ukraine from ballistic and cruise missile attacks—including the downing of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles over Kyiv. They were also used to intercept Iranian missile barrages targeting U.S. bases earlier this year. With the aid pause, Ukraine may lose one of its most effective high-altitude air defense layers. #PatriotMissile #PAC3MSE #UkraineDefense #BallisticMissile #WSMR #FtWingate #MissileTest #USArmy #UkraineWar #JUNO #AirDefense #VigilantHeroes #bevigilant #BreakingNews #MilitaryTech #iran #israel
