It's interesting you mention the Ratheon Techs tweaking the code ... I can remember them being there and it's true. They tweaked stuff like crazy. 42 ways to kill a tank ... still only 1 way to kill a TBM. 21 years later Patriot is still going strong. Patriot is still the only defense system to engage a TBM in combat.
This was "live" war. This was the first time this system had been in this scenario. Ratheon Techs were writing data changes pretty much minute by minute to change the system to do something it was not designed to do. So before you criticize something, have your facts straight. This was a dangerous time and a dangerous situation. Could you have done any better?
The Patriot was NOT designed to be an anti missile, missile. It was designed to take down aircraft. Blame the "powers that be" for sending it to do what it was NOT designed to do. It did what it was designed to do.You probably don't know is, Israel had 2 systems, still crated and unused before our Batteries went in. That was the reason why they sent the Batteries out of Germany. Most firing of the missiles was done by the IDF. They pretty much took over the Launchers upon arrival.
That is so not true, please read my post above. I'm very proud of the men and woman who worked day and night to ready themselves. I saw it myself! They made history by not just going into Israel but for how fast they went in! Do you have any idea of the long hours and training that goes into preparing for that? Those people did that daily! That was their job! They lived and breathed it daily! I'm not embarrassed I'm proud of each and every one of them.
To SeverEnergia. It was in 1991. It was at the closing of the war. We were in Northern Saudi stationed in King Kalid City close to The Iraqi Border. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
LoL.... 30-40% success rate & out of that small success rate the patriot hitting the scud caused more damage to Israeli infrastructure than the SCUDS them selfs.
@TrassseB At least the scuds got killed. If the scuds had hit they would have done more damage. In reality, pick your poison. 30 to 40% is better than nothing.
To all you Patriot Missile Technicians. You guys saved my butt when the war was coming to an end. We got hit by two scuds one afternoon. They were so close that we could see the writing on the rockets as they were coming down. Both got hit by Patriots. I owe you guys a beer. Make that a round.
@SeverEnergia0:30 was in '91 the rest weren't actually in the battlefield but were TEST. Just as :03 shows a missile being intercepts SECONDS after LAUNCH.
@aLkinGz1 lol your to dumb this has nothing todo with terrorists its two countries fighting it out please dont beleive the republican news iraq was not about terrorists it was about oil terrorists only came to iraq after we invaded and started killing innocent people
wow and I thought patriots owned. Why are they wasting billions on airborn laser missile defense(which got canceled) instead of getting a real anti missile missile. So atm the russian S-400 is the best around?
@hmodywakid: is that all uve got to say I know I dint spell certain words right jus like in this u fukin retard I never ment to spell em right but I Kant believe u actually took time out of ur worthless life to tell me that ha ha wot a dick u are I think u need to get a fking life
I was in the UK as a student then, they showed us how great the Patriot was. I saw one TV footage of a launch, followed the fire trail and see it U turn and come back down to the ground. Nothing was mentioned about this incident of course.

If you are to point a finger, point it at those who tried to change a missle system in the middle of an engagement. The State Dept, Dept. of the Army and Ratheon.
My husband was the 1SG. who brought his patriot btry into Tel Aviv Jan. 1991. To begin with, the patriot was not intended nor designed to shoot down missles. It was designed to shoot down aircraft. As the situation in Israel progressed so did the improvement in software to change the course and purpose of this missle system. To say it was not succesful at that time may be correct but only because it was not designed for that sort of engagement.
No they hit about half the scuds and you have to give credit to the Americans becouse there isnt many countrys that can intercept. Im so proud to be allies with America and the commenwealth ,no matter how much anyone might bag them they allways helped us so we help them. Australia,USA,UK,Canada and New Zealand is one big force that is together when it comes to warfare. In my opinion we are the strongest becouse of that but some will disagree anyway

I dont know why yall are even arguing...USA's military is far above any other military in the world. Our technologies are so far ahead of anyone elses. All this talk about Iran...who cares they are just now starting their nuclear program. We have over 1200 active nuclear warheads. If need be we could wipe any planet off of this country with the push of a few buttons but we are a civilized nation and dont talk shit to other countries we just help them.
Well you seem like a pretty nice fellow so all i have to say is that if usa does invade iran and your country decides to get involved i hope you are in the military so you can meat the men from the nation you are bashing.. I am sure your comments on youtube will scare them away from you long enough for you to boot up your PC and prepair for battle.
in ur fucking dreams dumb fuck! Iran continue its nuke program in defiance to US wishes but is their anything US can do about it? none dumb fuck! all US can do is its worthless none sense threats! LMAO!
write this down to ur mothers cunt dumb fuck! USA cant touch Iran coz Russia and China is on Iran's side :-) now scam! fucktard!
okay dick sucking cum drunk cunt face fucktard! Keep dreaming! but while ur dreaming guess what cunt face!? Iran is continuing on making nukes and there's nothing u can do about it! US economic embargo? yeah right as if Iran needs something from the US LOL as long as there's no embargo from China and Russia and from Latin America Iran will survive USA and NATO countries can Embargo all they want it has no significant effect on Iran! write that down on ur momas pussy! FUCKTARD!
lol shut up you cum guzzling douchebag. If Embargo's dont work then w will justwreck their shity ass ountry within a week. We are only taking the embargo route first so bitchs like Russia and China won't bitch that we didn't try a more peacful solution first.
Oh and last I checked you dumbfuck Russian's SUPPORT the increased embargo's dumbshit....learn to read your own news fuckhead. All that is left now is the chinks.
nah Russia is not joining any Embargo u dick sucking cunt face fucktard! In fact Russia is planning to sully arms :-) yeah that's right Russia is supplying arms to Iran and there's nothing u can do about it NOTHING! China has huge investment in Iran coz China needs Iran's energy so chances are USA will just keep on yapping bla bla bla but in reality there's nothing u can do about it! get used to it! dumbfuck!
lol sure just cause a little Russian bitch on Youtube is saying so which contradicts all reports I am going to believe you =D. Also sure China might have a huge investment in China....but even more so with the U.S., we buy 25% of their shit. Meaning if they try to collapse our economy....their economy will collapse as well = - ).
by the way fucktard Russia is selling s-300 to Iran this year and USA is now pissing on its pants trying so hard to stop the deal but at the end of the day Russia will do what it wants to do and theres nothing USA can do about it. Not unless US will give more juicy offer to Russia of course :-)
and one thing more Russia is planning to sell arms to Iraq and Afghanistan and China is winning bids on Iraq's oil fields. U see dumb fuck USA spend billions and lost lives in Iraq and Afghan war and now Russia and China who lost nothing is planing to reap off the benefits LOL Russia and China is practically ass Fucking USA and there's nothing u can do about it!
lol you dumbfuck...that is because WE LET THEM. We could tell China these are our fucking oil fields when and if we felt like. lol just keep sucking on China's cock you fucking faggot. I see that Russian's now realize they are fucking pussies and need China's help to TRY to fend of the U.S. "USA spend billions and lost lives in Iraq"
lol the dumbfuck Russian's lost like 3x what we have...in JUST AFGHANISTAN!
yah shit brain! and u lost 5x more in Nam! and one ur carrier explode in nam coz of ur own doing
yeh sure u let China win the bids LMAO china who didnt spend anything in Iraq war is now winning bids in Iraq! how generous of u! that's what i call plain ass fucking dickhead!
And now Russia is planning to sell weapons to Iraq and Afghanistan guess what ur pussy black president reply? NOTHING! he can do nothing coz hes a pussy! LMAO
Putin always want Obama to win coz he is easy to manipulate!
Yeah that's nam bitch. We are talking about the location that both our countries have been in. Shit if you dumbfuck's would have been in Nam you fucking retards would have lost 500,000+ lol.
Yeah..we did LET china win bids dumbfuck. The U.S. took Iraq and we have the choice whether or not to allow them to have access to the oil.
Anyway lol...Obama can make Putin his bitch whenever he feels like doing so. Flaming faggot Russian's and their outdated technology =D!
Obama is a tool and america is sucking because of him. He only got elected because the whole entire black community voted for him. And guess what? You like 5x what we lost in vietnam so shut the fuck up, uneducated ruskie.
Saddam Hussein killed Shiites, Kurds and Iranians as traitors dogs Shiites belonging to Iran and the Kurds responded an independent state for Iraq and the Iranians want to Ihthelo Iraq and seize its oil means that all agents may not have compassion, America is its malicious Nhbo history of Iraq and Stolo upon Djalo power to the Kurds, this crusade, death to America lived Long live Iraq, the Iraqi Baath Party
@aLkinGz1 yeah and he was good to do this, he kept the people in line, once saddam and the sunnis wer removed from power, every other religious faction went to war with eachother, now they bomb eachother every day, and america too. bush was stupid as fuck for dismantling the iraqi millitary and sending 400 000+ soldiers all over iraq with no jobs, and america left picking up the pieces
@Hellscope1 not all black people voted for obama LOL.. and blacks in America are like 10% of the population... all American presidents are tools rotfl, if obama wasnt in power would be Mccain and he would be doing the same ^^ all puppets , like they say... "Same shit, different assholes.."
@vladimirstanislav its not relevant if he is black or not.. most of the Presidents of the World are puppets , thats fact...America is the superpower controlled by the elite, but russia is no better.
sure Russia lost big in Afghan war b4 but USA lost big in Nam as well! so whose counting?
But this time is different USA lost soldiers and money in Iraq and Afghan war but when everything clears up guess what? China and Russia who did not spend anything who did not even sent a single soldier for battle is now planing on making huge business with Iraq and Afghan! China on oil fields Russia on weapons. Iraqi military would rather buy AK47 than shit m16 LOL...now that's business!
are we talking about the same patriot that accidently shot down several NATO aircraft during operation iraqi freedom. it seemed to be pretty good at that. i know for sure that it shot down 1 RAF tornado and i think an F-18 too.
everybody is hating on the patriot...... its because of wars the gulf war that the USA is able to test these missiles in a real war situation..... from there they figure out wer the patriot passed and failed.... and they improve apon it.... i can garentee that all these patriot failures actually made the newer model of patriot missiles more effective
Aegis and THAAD? and how did the pentagon advertise the effectiveness of that system? The same way they advertise the effectiveness of patriot missile? LOL and u actually believe them? just like how u believe them when they say patriot is the best missile defense in gulf war? give me a break! :-)
oh sure u raped old t-72 driven by poorly trained Arab boys. and u guys shot down MiG-29 piloted by under trained Arab boys. Give ur F22 to not so rich Arab nation like Egypt and it will be shot down by SAM LOL...
Did u know how many US fixed winged aircraft that's were shot down in the middle east? Yeah that's right they were shot down by outdated poorly maintained Iraqi weapons LOL
okay ur patriot also did some of the damage LOL research for it....specially helicopters oh boy damn....
oh well what ever at least u guys chickened out with ur plans of putting missile shield in Poland. LOL Russia said okay put that shit in Poland and im gonna target my Nukes to Poland LOL
USA is pissing on its pants when they heard that LOL guess what? USA backed out! LMAO
the point is USA goes to war against unequipped Iraq a nation who suffer from economic embargo with no other nation sporting her it took u what? several weeks to invade Iraq?
on the other hand Russia goes to war against Georgia a small country yes but with strong Military equipped and trained by the US and backed by NATO. But Russia simply hammered Georgia to its knees! And what did the US do? well nothing they just appeal to Russia to stop raping Georgia.
4th largest Army LOL and u need a coalition to do it LMAO! what did Iraq have a mediocre air force? here's the thing if u think ur USA is so great advice then to put their Missile shield in Poland! Don't chicken out! Install it so that shit so Russia can start kicking some American Ass...
But oh NO! USA is too chicken to do that, instead they said they will put up more effective sea based shield LOL sea based more effective than land based? i wonder why the most effective missile shield (as they claim) in main land USA is not sea based but instead its land based shield! WOW
Simply put USA chickened out! CHICKEN! u guys cant even touch Iran! u know why? coz Iran has good relations with Russia that's why!
partriots effectiveness was wildly overblown in1991 its now believed that no patriot achieved a direct hit on any incoming scud.
in fact, the iraqi scuds were so badly maintained that most of them disintegrated by themselves, hell some of them didnt even have warheads to begin with!
@fludblud Actually no, it was highly powerfull, infact we got insane kills in the gulfwar, but Americans always exagerate in their docunmentaries and news saying " We lost 5 and they lost 50" but intruth the American force lost alot of soldiers in the past wars, they wouldn't want to say their real casualty number becouse then all of the Americans will bail out of the middle-east and go back home.
Wartime propaganda. The media was more effective than the Patriot missle... In fact, the media managed to brainwash 9/10 stupid humans, while the Patriot managed to hit 1/20 Scuds .. if that. ;)
i will never forget the day i was listening to AFN radio the topic was how successful would the patriot be if iraq was to fire multiple scud missles at the same time, same target. well, i was at that target on that evening and witnessed several patriots being launched at several scuds over my head and as i was running my ass off for cover, i couldnt help but think about how "effective" our media was....
Not true, you can't believe everything the media says, or anything they say for that matter, military reports indicate it destroyed plenty of them, I'll trust them over the liberal media.
May I ask why patriot missles are so small by design? Why did they not have a 400lb warhead to disintegrate the missle compeletely so scud bombs don't fall to the ground. That was a heartwrenching moment when I saw that warhead fall and take out some of the city. I'm sure there were people there.
Maybe because the Patriot was not originally made for shooting down missiles? its purpose is to shoot down aircraft, which it does perfectly. It can *also* shoot down missiles, but this is not what it was made for, so this is why it sucked.
This was a very old footage from the 90s. Now the Patriot missile is modifies to hit scud missile and more. Patriot missile does not suck at shooting down missile anymore!
I think because in such high-speed intercepts, where the combined velocity is almost hypersonic, a slightly bigger explosion won't change much (unless it's nuclear). I think it's more about actually physically hitting the rocket
To be fair, the only reason why any of this happened was because the US was holding Israel back. Israel never joined the coalition of declared war on Iraq...
And also, 3 CIVILIANS killed is hardly what I'd call "ass kicking". Especially when you compare what Israel did to Iraq when it bombed it's Nuclear Power Plant
that's right. its not from political situation dealing with external powers trying to impose their despotic vision for oil instead. yup you got it transfection. only if the politicians knew it were that simple rofl.
I didnt say their hate was oil driven, I said oil funds it. Without the oil, their hate wouldn't amount to much because they wouldn't be able to buy hundreds of tanks and planes to kill each other with over the resource.
There is nothing we did that would make the groups I just described be forced to hate each other. Do you really think we caused Iraq to invade Iran? Or shias to hate sunnis? Or tribe X to hate tribe Y? Nothing is stopping them from realizing they should find common ground.
m8 (chemical) alarms went off twice but we were basically told to disregard it as a false detection. a sleepy soldier on gaurd duty one night shot at it thinking it was somebody low crawling toward him.funny
PS - I can't find it at the moment, but the upper echelon of the US military also admitted this, that not one launch was a splashdown, in later years. Around 1996 or so.
I even respect your comments. I won't dish out names tho, and call you a troll, even tho my comments were reasonable. That would be the behaviour of a typical troll. Take care...
DelMinor must have been one of the Intel trolls that never came out of the basement.
Being above ground, in the impact zones, I know for a fact something hit those warheads, because they weren't airbursters, and several of them came down in pieces only - not intact.
I seriously doubt they hit an Eastern European Swallow in flight.
Hey, I gave the facts. If you want to call me a troll, then yer worse then a troll. My comments are far from that of a troll, and not even under the parameters of one. I debunked something, from personal experience, so I am a troll? Nobody can say shit on the net, cuz we then must be trolls, if it is a negative comment that is, and goes against the grain. I wasn't there, but I was on comms for every single launch, behind the scenes so to speak.
I remember the dropping of the leaflets... The night before the main operation was to take place. There were black ops in the desert two days before... Striking small targets, sentry's, etc. I didn't get this shit from a book. Please respect what I have to say, and don't instantly cut me down, cuz you have no idea the fucked up shit I saw and heard. Thank you.
Patriot is a proximity weapon, which means that pieces of the Patriot missile would hit pieces of the Scud and all those pieces will fall to earth... which can actually cause considerable damage.
It's BULLSHIT! In later years we found out not ONE Patriot hit a single SCUD, but CNN and news agencies and the military reported every launch a "splashdown".
Of cousre, they had to justify the millions spent on the new guidance system, I mean it couldn't fail, right? After investing so much. I kenw all of this, cuz I served in an intelligence branch during Desert Storm, and could say nothing, until now. Not one hit it's mark. Not a single Patriot so much as brushed a SCUD.
Iran and Syria have more missiles, this summer is going to be hot!

partriots effectiveness was wildly overblown in1991 its now believed that no patriot achieved a direct hit on any incoming scud.

@fludblud Actually no, it was highly powerfull, infact we got insane kills in the gulfwar, but Americans always exagerate in their docunmentaries and news saying " We lost 5 and they lost 50" but intruth the American force lost alot of soldiers in the past wars, they wouldn't want to say their real casualty number becouse then all of the Americans will bail out of the middle-east and go back home.

True, but the fact that we could hit them at all is astounding. The fact that the PAC-3 missile system as a 100% warhead hit rate is downright godly.

coskss 2 years ago
May I ask why patriot missles are so small by design? Why did they not have a 400lb warhead to disintegrate the missle compeletely so scud bombs don't fall to the ground. That was a heartwrenching moment when I saw that warhead fall and take out some of the city. I'm sure there were people there.
drchen054 2 years ago 2
Maybe because the Patriot was not originally made for shooting down missiles? its purpose is to shoot down aircraft, which it does perfectly. It can *also* shoot down missiles, but this is not what it was made for, so this is why it sucked.

This was a very old footage from the 90s. Now the Patriot missile is modifies to hit scud missile and more. Patriot missile does not suck at shooting down missile anymore!

eviltwin777 2 years ago
I think because in such high-speed intercepts, where the combined velocity is almost hypersonic, a slightly bigger explosion won't change much (unless it's nuclear). I think it's more about actually physically hitting the rocket

To be fair, the only reason why any of this happened was because the US was holding Israel back. Israel never joined the coalition of declared war on Iraq...
And also, 3 CIVILIANS killed is hardly what I'd call "ass kicking". Especially when you compare what Israel did to Iraq when it bombed it's Nuclear Power Plant

I didnt say their hate was oil driven, I said oil funds it. Without the oil, their hate wouldn't amount to much because they wouldn't be able to buy hundreds of tanks and planes to kill each other with over the resource.
There is nothing we did that would make the groups I just described be forced to hate each other. Do you really think we caused Iraq to invade Iran? Or shias to hate sunnis? Or tribe X to hate tribe Y? Nothing is stopping them from realizing they should find common ground.

DelMinor must have been one of the Intel trolls that never came out of the basement.
Being above ground, in the impact zones, I know for a fact something hit those warheads, because they weren't airbursters, and several of them came down in pieces only - not intact.
I seriously doubt they hit an Eastern European Swallow in flight.

Hey, I gave the facts. If you want to call me a troll, then yer worse then a troll. My comments are far from that of a troll, and not even under the parameters of one. I debunked something, from personal experience, so I am a troll? Nobody can say shit on the net, cuz we then must be trolls, if it is a negative comment that is, and goes against the grain. I wasn't there, but I was on comms for every single launch, behind the scenes so to speak.

Hitting "something" doesn't mean they hit intact missiles. They probably hit fragments, which is the accepted explanation, or was, back then.

Patriot is a proximity weapon, which means that pieces of the Patriot missile would hit pieces of the Scud and all those pieces will fall to earth... which can actually cause considerable damage.

Of cousre, they had to justify the millions spent on the new guidance system, I mean it couldn't fail, right? After investing so much. I kenw all of this, cuz I served in an intelligence branch during Desert Storm, and could say nothing, until now. Not one hit it's mark. Not a single Patriot so much as brushed a SCUD.
