"Unless that Patriots are PAC III's, you've got a much slimmer chance of negating an inbound warhead. This isn't my call to make, I just offered some friendly advice. If the wind's blowing wrong..."
Yes, Israel fired four of its own Arrow 2 interceptors and successfully tested integration with PAC-3s (for backups) in January.
Western Europe is against our anti-ballistic missile defense systems and doesn't have any, to my knowledge, but has offensive capabilities. That, while Iranian leaders have mentioned their desire to both cause and incur massive casualties (to get Islamists in other countries going crazier). Western Europe should be more worried about Iran, which will soon likely acquire/modify missiles to ranges beyond those of the BM-25s recently received from N. Korea (BM-25s will reach Rome, and maybe London after being adapted back to smaller payload configurations).
Islamist leaders here and there have also advised Iranian leaders to keep the focus on hypothetical attacks against Israel. Even the UK press has followed their advice for some time now.
...looks like an Islamo-fascist plan is taking shape.
