You have a source that backs your claim that is the reason Ukraine hit Moscow, if Ukraine hit Moscow at all?

They're not directly comparable, but even so, I don't see why Patriot's radar would be inferior. United States has a significantly better electronics industry than Russia, and the Patriot's MPQ-65 radar reached IOC in 2003, its significantly more modern than Ukraine's S-300.
Do we know what version of the Patriot MPQ-65 the Ukrainian's have? Could they have the AESA AN/MPQ-65A?
I haven't been able to find out, but I haven't put a lot of effort into looking tbf.
I doubt that Ukraine has the latest tech though, but who knows? Maybe U.S. wants to test out its latest and greatest.
Example becasue the S-300 use two radar for search and targeting, the patriot use a single one for both purpose.
And the search radar bigger than the patriot one.
How could be tha patriot better, if it is smaller, try to use the same radar for two purposes, can't give 360degree coverage ?
And the electronics claim rubish as well, the manufacturing technology of the antenas and the SIZE more important then the electronics.
In radars (and radiocumunication) the ANTENNA is the main thing, the electronics is just secondary consideration .

I wonder what happened with rest of the battery.
Who made the photo?
And how it get out ?
Russia quickly declasified the photos , or a scrapper find the command post in the wildreness , or the Ukrainan own the truck and the hanger where it was ?
I mean, we haven't got photos of the impacts in Kiev, but a lost s-400 command post photo is public ?
Could be not in the same place as where the CP was hit.
The command post can maintain some distance to the firing unit up to 30 Km.
Addition, also 55K6 is not exclusive to S-400's. It can control other systems too.

Because there are several performance characteristics we measure, when we assess radar performance. Not just its azimuth angle.
Uh huh. And what is the size comparison? The power?
It is a bit ridiculous to me, to simply claim that either system has an inferior radar system without mentioning any relevant specs. I'm not going to claim that Patriot is the superior system, but based on its age, size, and US extensive history and experience at crafting radar systems, I find it highly unlikely that United States cannot build a system with a superior radar than what USSR's mid 80s MIC was capable of.
Unless somebody wants to provide some actual facts, the claim that either system is better is largely unsubstantiated.
