The Sentinal/Safeguard system and it's missiles were in no way comperable to Patriot. They aren't even the same types of missiles. Patriot has NO ABM capability, nor was it ever designed to have it, nor has it ever been claimed to have it. Complaining that Patriot is no Nike missile is like complaining that a Stinger is no PAC-3. Completely illogical.

Nike Zeus was not a SAM so it would be difficult to be "the absolutely most horrifying SAM ever".

Too bad they gave the Nike system away. It had MUCH more potential than the Patriot. It had TRUE anti-ICBM capabilities & that's why the Russians wanted to make it part of the SALT treaty. The yanks were stupid to give in at the Russians demand. They should've built a LARGE anti-ICBM network beginning from the very early '60s. It could've been done & kept the secret from the Russians. In the early '60, the Americans still had overwhelming strategic advantage so that was the time to build ABMs.

Great video. Thanks. The first attempt on you tube to explain the ABM treaty.

Good job.

What's the name of this Firepower tape? Is the tape called "Missile Shield."
