Dozens of launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems Patriot, the destroyer with guided missiles and not a single shot down the drone, attacking oil storage facilities - the Ministry of defense of Russia today criticized the system of air defense of Saudi Arabia, created With the direct participation of the United States. The famous air defense systems Patriot has not made not a single missile in an attack on oil facilities in the country, which allowed the drones to freely achieve their goals. Why the American system has not coped with a touch on Saudi Arabia in the material of the Fins news . A senior source in the Russian defense Ministry said that the area of Saudi Arabia from all sides covered with a powerful missile defense system. Around the country have created a continuous radar field. So, only the Northern border of Saudi Arabia cover almost ninety American launchers of anti-aircraft missile complexes Patriot. Moreover, most of them the latest versions of PAC-2 and PAC-3. In addition, in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia on alert are 3 destroyers guided missile weapons missile Navy with missile defense system Aegis. That is, according to calculations through this invisible wall don't have to fly and fly. However, in practice it turned out to be exactly the opposite. The fourteenth of September two largest enterprises of the Saudi national oil organization of Saudi Aramco in the Hail and Hurisa has undergone a massive attack of missiles with wings and unmanned aerial vehicles Laden with explosives. Not a Single drone or missile was shot down. Responsibility for the attack took upon their own shoulders the Yemeni Houthi rebels, which is fighting against the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia. After the attack the Saudis very quickly reduced oil production by 5, 7 million barrels per day from the normal level of approximately 9, 8 million. The Americans immediately tried to protect their weapons from attacks and opponents. For example, Secretary of state Mike Pompeo said not shocked that the air defense system of Saudi Arabia, including the system of American-made Patriot, could not repel a missile attack on oil storage tanks, since All these systems operate " with varying success ". the Ministry of defense of Russia, from its part, believe that the cause of the failure of American air defense system has the ability to be only a discrepancy of anti-aircraft missile complexes Patriot and Aegis systems with specified characteristics. Justification the Secretary of state would be able to take in the case that would be discussed on the same complex Patriot. But, as mentioned above, such complexes in Saudi Arabia, Dozens. It is clear that the American system, despite the powerful advertising and loud statements of the manufacturer, are not designed to deal with small purposes and useless in the event of such attacks. While Pompeo was subjected to charges of organizing attacks Iran. However, focusing on the map, a large part of the air defense system of Saudi Arabia are located from the Islamic Republic. For this reason, Americans are left to settle with a choice: either to admit that their air defense system is totally ineffective, or deny the involvement of Iran to attack. According to editor-in-chief of the journal "inventory of the Fatherland" Victor Murakhovski, Saudi Arabia today has one of the most advanced air defense systems in the middle East." In addition to Patriot, then placed the Hawk complexes, artillery air defense system Skyguard, radiolocator, which create in practice a continuous radar field across the country. It all tied into a single automated control system, - said murakhovski in conversation with Last news .- technical parameters system calculations at a very high and modern level. But the only criterion for effective verification technique is known, is the only combat use, and it turned out to be extremely unsuccessful ". Moreover, said murakhovski, as the fire did not open any of these air defense systems in Saudi Arabia, impact means - drones and cruise missiles - were not found at all." This, I think, puncture and flaws not only of the technical plan. Maybe the situation had a negative impact of the human factor. Focusing on the experience of the use of military power in Saudi Arabia against the Houthis in Yemen, I see that quite a majority of failures occur from the Saudi military because of the very low qualification and motivation of personnel. They have a long time did not have the opportunity to deal with the Huthis, it is strongly lagging behind in technical equipment ". note that such a small object, like a drone, is a rather difficult target for any radar air defense system. These devices typically are manufactured using a small number of metal, made mostly of wood, plastic and composite materials. "But despite This, the Russian air defense system, for its part, effectively and securely cope with such aircraft objects, - said murakhovski.- throughout known history of attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles, numerous firing of rockets at our base Hamim in the Syrian Arab Republic is not a single breakthrough the base was not allowed. All the attack target were either suppressed by electronic countermeasures or downed firepower ". Militants occasionally attack Hamim, using not only drones, But also jet systems of volley fire. Russian air defense forces successfully repelled All the attacks. For example, the airbase in the Syrian Arab Republic is covered from attacks from the air defense missile-gun complexes " Pantsir ", air defense systems "Thor" and s-300 systems. One of the latest attacks happened in the early fall. Russian anti-aircraft firepower has destroyed more drum maneuvering of unmanned aerial vehicles of the terrorists far beyond the base. <span style="color:darkgray
