WATCH: Cruise Missile Intercepted By Patriot
Footage has been released of the US Army using a Patriot missile to destroy a cruise missile target.
The IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS), developed by defense contractor the Northrop Grumman Corporation, used combined tracking data from dissimilar Sentinel and Patriot radars to provide command-and-control for the intercept.
It comes after Vladimir Putin accused the US of trying to "neutralise Russia’s nuclear potential” by strengthening its missile defences in Europe - and warned that he will respond.
The Kremlin, meanwhile, has confirmed that it "accidentally" broadcast secret plans for a nuclear torpedo system on two state-controlled news channels.
