Doesn't really matter. The point is, if you shoot them before they launch it called "take'n out the launchers" if you shoot'um after they hit something,...well that's just too late! So, if you are gonna shoot'um down you gotta do it after they launch and before the hit something, or it don't count. Turns out we have several systems that do just that.

Sounds like you're unfamiliar with terminology.

You can shoot then in the launching stage (while it's "goin' up")

You can shoot then when it's on the terminal phase (while it's "comin' down")

Or while it's up in space (mid-trajectory).

Which are you claiming was used here? It's ok for you to confess your ignorance at this point.

I'm guess'n you might need to try using some lube...and shave that thing. I was think'n you started this pretty clearly stating "mid-trajectory". I ain't swearing to it but I suppose one of us could scroll up and check. I suspect you are making an effort to point out the rather limited effectiveness of "ABM's". We likely have a few that are somewhat effective when used against long range actual nuk tipped ICBM's. What Iran has are more like high flying bottle rockets. They suck. Their quality control sucks to the point a high percent wont even fly at all, and many that do fly are so inaccurate it's probably not worth the trouble to even try to take them out. When they do get one that works and actually hits somewhere with in their 140 meter target perimeter (like trying to hit somewhere in a NFL football stadium) it may or may not have a war head actually capable of taking out a goal post. Why would we use anything high tech"...hypersonic, advanced electronic warfare, rail guns, particle beam weapons...?? Maybe we should have intervened and tried to take out the stinger the shot down the plane with...or not. Either way, that clam smell could be a sign of yeast.

Do you not remember the Patriot missile batteries shooting down SCUDS in the 1st gulf war? Have you never heard of the Israeli "Iron Dome" system that shoots down Hezb'Allah rockets routinely?

Those have low effectiveness, and also weren't used in this case.

Your source? BTW, the Steve Bannon Youtube show #103 had a LtCol say, specifically, they were SCUD type missiles. Youtube Steve Bannon The current versions of ADA can intercept mortars just like Iron Dome. Prove me wrong, give me your sources, and back up your claims.
