And the Patriot is even better. Yeah, the Israelis complained about its capabilities against Scuds during Desert Storm, but they never got rid of them. In fact, the IDF has the latest variant of the Patriot; not only are they much improved against ballistic missiles, they are absolutely devastating against tactical aircraft.

One reason that the unofficial motto of Patriot units is, “If it flies, it dies, and we’ll sort out the pieces on the ground.”

The Patriots were okay against SCUDS, which in an of itself was a feat. I bet they would have slammed any aircraft.

I spect the Izzies have realms of surface-to-air and anti-ballistic missiles that we have never dreamed of.
