    The Patriot is indeed an air-defence missile and it has been adapted to shoot down some types of missile as well. They hit a few Scuds in George Bush Snr's Gulf War. You'd have to aim off alot with a Webley Patriot to hit a supersonic missile, probably a battery of them would be necessary - and they are hard to cock!
    Watched a program about The Patriot Missile system !
    It apparently Never hit any missiles in the gulf war it was classed as a hit IF it crossed the flight path of said incoming missile
