This footage shows Iran's February 2026 strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The ballistic missile appears to remain airborne despite multiple Patriot interceptor launches before an explosion is seen near the target area. The Patriot interceptor engagement, Patriot interceptor launches, and ballistic missile attack continue to generate debate about modern air defense performance in combat.

Expert Insight:
A single ballistic missile can force defenders to launch multiple interceptors, creating a significant cost imbalance even when interception attempts are successful.
