I just came across this article and it says...
Since a Patriot missile battery can have up to 16 launchers, and there are also spare missiles to re-supply the launchers as missiles are fired, you can see that deploying a Patriot missile battery is not a small endeavor.
So if the a "full" PAC3 battery is deployed, it can have 16x16 = 256 missiles plus whatever the re-supply vehicles are carrying?
How many launchers and missiles "loaded" are there in a typical modern SAM/ABM battery? e.g. How many missiles for a THAAD battery? S-300/400? etc...
