The Trumpeter 01037 M983 HEMTT M901 Launching Station of MIM-104F0 Patriot SAM System PAC-3 in 1/35 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world. The set precisely replicates the fully functional PATRIOT (PAC-3) missile launcher, used mainly by the United States Army, as well as selected NATO and allied countries (including Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Israel, South Korea).

The MIM-104 Patriot system was introduced into service in the 1980s during the Cold War, and has been gradually modernized based on operational experiences, including during Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and in contemporary NATO missions. PAC-3 is the most advanced version, designed primarily to neutralize tactical ballistic missiles, advanced cruise missiles, and aerial targets at medium and high altitudes.
