Really? What is the maximum capability of the Patriot intercept system?
Be specific. Do you means
1) What's the maximum capability of the Patriot system that the US govt. wants others to believe (via military advertising)?
2) What's the maximum capability of the Patriot system that its engineers are claiming (as part of classified material)?
3) What's the maximum capability of the Patriot system that has been evidenced in actual war (i. e. the relevant statistic)? That one's easy It's near worthless, as seen during the 1991 Gulf War when about 30 Scuds (primitive unguided missiles) hit Israel and one destroyed an army barracks.
