Abstract:
Postol claimed that the Patriot could not effectively handle the incoming Scud at its short range of defense. Some criteria suggested by the Patriot’s side on its success were not easy to establish. Eventually, the Patriot system was claimed to have some political success, limiting Israel’s actions to directly counter-attack Iraq. Therefore, the Patriot system had some political success regardless of its military effectiveness against the Scud.
