Patriot Missile - Dependable?
« on: July 15, 2006, 08:37:20 PM »
It seems Israel has started to deploy Patriot missiles to certain parts of the country, but I heard some on the TV question whether they are reliable or not? They seemed to think that they were useless in '91 and will be useless now.

no doubt PAC developed from 91.but to shoot down BM is very unlikely.so in other words its useless.something is better than nothing  ;)

I wonder is the Lockheed Sky Guard would be a better solution in the future

yeah its more smart and worth investment than PAC or anyother system.to stop BM at mach 8-9 is really tough task.
