    The Patriot SCAM system is indeed very successful... at producing shareholder value. Twisted Evil

    Yeah wtf. S300 has faced more scrutiny and from both former soviet and western style weapon systems.

    It successfully took out allied aircraft in Desert Storm and it has taken down an F-16 in the Ukraine... and you can't claim inexperienced operators because it was likely used by Americans or HATO in both cases.

    I would say the important thing to point out is that Patriot is not the SAM they are using as a Phoenix replacement... any guesses why?
