It's a pity that they don't do a Rapier homepage as well, as it's far superior to Patriot anyways. Both were designed as Anti aircraft missiles but Rapier works. Just after the Falklands the RAF and Navy were running a joint exercise for the Rapier batteries. The Navy would fire 4.5" shells and the Rapiers would intercept them. The Rapiers scored 100% every time. Of course the Navy claimed the credit for 'shotting down' all those Rapiers. I remember reading the article in the Navy News.

All the Patriot Missile photos you could ever want for anyone who has the kit ready to go...

In addition, of course, the NATO homepage, with all its other photo galleries is no slouch, either!

Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.
