Patriot missile system (Red Alert 2)

The Patriot Missile System was the Allies primary anti-air base defense throughout Great World War III and the Psychic Dominator Disaster. It consisted of a pair of Patriot Missile launchers mounted on top of a thin traversing pylon, which in turn rotated on apex of a hemispherical base. The Patriot system employed advanced targeting systems and detection equipment that allowed it to attack all forms of aircraft from MIGs to Rocketeers and also most forms of heavy missiles, such as V3s.

Uses
Extremely effective against all kinds of Soviet aircraft, it could shoot planes, helicopters, and even parachuting Conscripts out of the sky with ease. The tiny missiles it fired were fast and impossible to hit, unlike Soviet V-3 Launchers. The missile system was utilized by the IFV and a handheld version was fired by Guardian GIs. The handheld version was effective against aircraft and vehicles.

Counters
Patriot Missile Systems in Great World War III were incapable of attacking land units. Furthermore, they were vulnerable to enemy long range missile strikes, as long as there were sufficient incoming attacks.
