Side grade. In sufficient numbers the networking capabilities of the patriot makes it better, but in lower numbers... Not so much...

Perun and Kraut for one... And Willy OEM.

@ltfreeborn The maintenance of the Russian ones might be so-so. But the soviet union had good engineers and while having its issues it wasn't controlled by Putin and his cronies...

@saattlebrutaz Russia under Putin isn't what it once was. While there was cultural issues even during the cold war there's a reason why the west worried about Russia before the war. Russia had a lot of good engineers during the cold war and was actually ahead of the US in some areas back then, like I'm rocket engines. The US always had the edge in other areas like electronics though. When it comes to air defenses the two sides are pretty closely matched with each having some strengths and some weaknesses. In a country with a lot of anti-air assets I'd feel safer being protected by the US system though. But in Ukraines situation the S 300 might actually be better. Just like the Swedish Gripen would be better for them then a US F35 for Ukraines use (lack of safe runways, low budgets and technical staff, less air defense assets etc)
