It said the Patriot fired a salvo of 30 missiles? And this is just video of a night sky, and missiles flying from miles away.
Does a Patriot HAVE that many missiles? This seems a little sketchy to me.

*************************************************
A Patriot battery has multiple launch vehicles each with multiple missiles.
“Does a Patriot HAVE that many missiles?”
Each Patriot unit has 4 missiles and Russia claims to have taken out 8 of them.
Each launcher has 4 missiles, and it takes a while to reload, I don’t remember. Initially the US said one launcher was going, but with the amount of missiles fired in that 2 minute video means there are at least 8 launchers in Kyvi
I think the max is now 16 missiles per launching system (four canisters, four missiles each). I’m not sure if they can link additional launchers to a single launch controller/radar/generator.
Patriots can reload. Lots of video online showing how this is done.
