Desert Storm Patriot/Scud Missile Intercepts

Raw footage of the Patriot System intercepting some Scuds during Desert Storm. Taken from YouTube.

"During the Gulf War, the Patriot was assigned to shoot down incoming Iraqi Scud or Al-Hussein Missiles launched at Israel and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. Army which was in charge of the Patriots claimed an initial success rate of 80% in Saudi Arabia and 50% in Israel. Those claims were scaled back to 70 and 40 percent."
