Welcome to IWETHEY!

New The same Patriot missile system used in Desert Storm?
and which also had a success factor of 1% (or something like that)?
Stainless steel traps breed stainless steel rats.
New The very same.
But DS wasn't a fair comparison... City defense wasn't what it was built for.

So I don't know how effective it was, or would have been. Personally, I thought it was rather ineffective. But its use in DS was political, without regard for its use.

(remember, it was *designed* as anti-aircraft, and is good enough to - sometimes - catch semi-ballistic missiles.)
