According to him, a significant advantage is the fast time of deployment and redeployment, the ability to fire at both ballistic missiles and aerodynamic targets.

It is possible to hit targets at extremely low altitudes, that is, literally, there, at an altitude of 10-15 m. The Patriot complex hits a target from 60 m. In addition, our complex has a range of 400 km, while the Patriot has a range of 250 km.
