The Israelis mainly prioritize protecting civilian vs. military targets, so it's not surprising the air base got hit with something given the volume of fire.
The Arrow exoatmospheric ballistic missile defense is now proven tech, and the first destruction of ballistic missile warheads above the Karman line have taken place.
There always seems to be a lot of hype about Russian, Chinese, or non-Western weaponry. But Western weapons like the Patriot, IRIS-T, or even the old Gepards seem to outperform their specs. The Kinzhals and Iskanders were supposed to be impossible to intercept but are shot down regularly.
Like I said, if you get up enough nerve to stop parroting the Western narrative, I have provided you a resource with which to educate yourself as to what the situation actually is.

That’s great.
The problem is Patriot production of interceptor missiles is 550 PER YEAR !
Doesn’t matter how great they are once they are all used up.
