short-range ballistic missile attack on Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. The footage breaks down the physics of a successful terminal intercept by Kuwaiti PAC-3 Patriot air defenses and details how the resulting falling debris field compromised a hardened shelter, wounded personnel, and destroyed high-value U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drones on the flight line.

Expert Insight:
"The incident at Ali Al Salem underscores a fundamental paradox in modern air defense: even a technically perfect hit-to-kill ballistic interception inevitably converts an incoming warhead into a multi-ton kinetic debris field that falls directly onto the asset being defended.
