This image shows the remains of the attitude control section of either a PAC-3 CRI or PAC-3 MSE missile. This section contains the attitude control motors, used in combination with control fins to guide and adjust the missiles on its way to the target.

Rocket or Missile Ukraine Patriot PAC-3 CRI Patriot PAC-3 Series
Analyst Note:
This image shows the remnants of a PAC-3 Cost Reduction Initiative (CRI) missile.

However, it is important to note that these missiles contain a high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) “lethality enhancer” warhead. These warheads are much smaller than what would normally be expected on a surface-to-air missile of this size, but still present a hazard if it fails to function as designed. (ARES)
