"Patriot" missiles appear in China, Russia sent a generous gift? Maybe it's a missile model

Recently, a picture of a large flatbed truck with the words "Jin F8238 Super" and a "Patriot" anti-aircraft missile launcher carrying 4x4 launch units came out on the Internet, attracting a large number of onlookers from netizens and making extensive comments on it.

Some people said that this was the "Patriot" anti-aircraft missile launcher captured by the Russian army from the Ukrainian battlefield as a gift to China from its top leader's visit to China. It was transported by Il-76 large transport aircraft, and the performance test was carried out by the Chinese side.

PAC-2/3 air defense missile can intercept fighter planes, attack planes, bombers, helicopters and other aircraft as well as cruise missiles, air to ground missiles, precision guided bombs, and tactical ballistic missiles below 40km.

According to the open-source information, on May 16, 2023, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman General Konashenkov said that the Russian army used the "dagger" hypersonic missile system to destroy a set of "Patriot" air defense missile system deployed in Kiev, Ukraine.

When the PLA is training, it really needs to make models of some foreign military weapons and equipment, and even the appearance is very realistic. Even some films and TV plays with military themes will produce corresponding models of foreign military weapons and equipment according to the needs of the story when shooting.

Now, there are many private enterprises in China that can make 1:1 models of foreign military weapons and equipment. The models of these weapons and equipment are very realistic in appearance, almost to the extent of fake.
