Sounds like the Ukrainians re-engineered the Patriot system and now it works far better than the IDIOTS at Raytheon designed it.

I was working at Raytheon when the Equipment Division merged with Missile Systems, around 1998. Our systems engineering department was merged with the Patriot systems engineering. We had dozens of systems in our portfolio, COBRA DANE, ROTHR, PAVE PAWS, BMEWS, inter alia. Patriot was bigger than all of them combined. Those guys were sharp, they knew their stuff and produced the finest, most reliable SAM system ever produced. There were no hypersonic Russian, or other missiles at the time. New users extended a very successful design to new uses.
