沙特首都利雅得机场在10月8至11日期间遭胡塞武装导弹袭击4次，造成重大人员伤亡1。尽管沙特拥有先进的防空体系支撑，包括萨德反导系统、2800枚爱国者PAC-3拦截弹等装备1，以及编制约1.6万人的防空军1，但仍未能有效阻止攻击。
拦截失败背后存在多重因素。截至8月上旬，沙特的爱国者PAC-3拦截弹库存已消耗86%，仅剩约400枚1。与此同时，利雅得机场面临的防御区域过大，加重了防空压力。更为关键的是，胡塞武装使用的导弹具备难以对付的性能。袭击所用导弹飞行超过900公里，很可能为巴勒斯坦-2高超音速导弹1。该型导弹冲刺速度超过10马赫，能够携带500公斤弹头飞行2000公里以上，并具备末段变轨能力1，这些特性大幅提升了其规避防御的能力。
Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh airport faced four missile attacks from Houthi forces between October 8 and 11, resulting in significant casualties 1. Despite possessing advanced air defense systems, including the THAAD system and approximately 2,800 Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles, Saudi Arabia's defenses proved unable to effectively counter the strikes 1.
The interception failures stemmed from multiple factors. By early August, Saudi Arabia had exhausted approximately 86 percent of its Patriot PAC-3 inventory, leaving only around 400 missiles remaining 1. The country's air defense network, known as "Shield of Peace" and staffed by roughly 16,000 personnel, faced an overwhelming defensive burden across an expansive coverage area 1. The incoming missiles, which traveled over 900 kilometers and were likely Palestina-2 hypersonic missiles, presented an exceptionally challenging target 1. These weapons operate at speeds exceeding Mach 10, can carry 500-kilogram warheads across distances exceeding 2,000 kilometers, and possess the capability to change trajectory during their terminal phase 1.
