The Royal Navy has six Type 45 Destroyers, considered to be the backbone of Britain's naval fleet, which it says are among the most advanced warships ever built, equipped with the Sea Viper missile.Īlso known as PAAMS (Principle Anti Air Missile System), once airborne, the Sea Viper system can guide 16 missiles to targets that are as far away as 70 miles (113km), engaging multiple targets simultaneously. Standing for the Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target, the Patriot's batteries consist of eight launchers, each with the capacity to fire four missiles. Created by the United States, the Patriot system is used to intercept and destroy incoming cruise missiles and aircraft. Three countries have sent the Patriot to Ukraine – the US, Netherlands and Germany. The Patriot missile system is being used by Ukraine to counter the threat of Russian air strikes.
