El 25 de febrero de 1991, durante la Guerra del Golfo, una batería de misiles #Patriot estadounidenses no logró interceptar un misil #Scud. Murieron 28 soldados.

La causa: un error de 0.000000095 frente al gran error de la #guerra.

¿Qué ocurrió? ⬇️
Los #Patriot eran (son) misiles tierra–aire de largo alcance y carácter defensivo. Cuando el radar de la batería detectaba un ataque con misiles, los Patriot eran lanzados con el propósito de destruir la amenaza antes de que alcanzara su objetivo.

📺
El proceso era sencillo:

1⃣ El radar detectaba un objeto extraño.
2⃣ Sabiendo la velocidad de un #Scud, el sistema predecía su "posible" futura ubicación y comprobaba si el objeto había seguido dicha trayectoria.
3⃣ Si la amenaza se confirmaba, se lanzaban los #Patriot.

1- Good reminder amidst the 'hot' #nuclear warhead-tipped missiles debates revolving around #Turkey. In brief, @EdamOrg EDAM Security and Defense Program Director Dr. Can Kasapoglu argues:
2- "From a military standpoint, the #Bora tactical ballistic missile could offer robust war-fighting capabilities for the #Turkish Armed Forces. The missile is road-mobile, carried by a TELAR (transporter-erector-launcher).
3- Road-mobile missiles are more survivable on the battlefield, as they can be deployed to different launch positions flexibly. While fixed launch sites could come under adversaries’ preventive strikes, locating and targeting TELARs necessitates a consuming intelligence effort.
