#1 The link is giving "Error 500--Internal Server Error" msgs, so I'll wing it with the info posted...

They certainly had one helluva jump start, thanks to Raytheon's 2nd Generation Patriot... The improved version scores direct hits... I assume the software was a significant "gift" to the Arrow program.

#3 I always thought that the Pac 1 misses were because the original Patriot was designed to destroy aircaft by exploding in the near vicinity of the target.

Regardless, do they need a "test" target for the Scud? What was Barbara's adress again? I think there are even arial photos somewhere on the web that might aid in targetting her bedroom.
