PATRIOT = Protection Against Threats, Real, Imagined, Or Theorized

Is a re-purposed anti-aircraft missile.
It may provide some limited protection against slower missiles.
But even then, it didn't do as well as advertised against Iraqi Scuds in Israel.

The stats for the Middle East was IIRC:
44 delivery vehicle interceptions with ZERO warheads destroyed.
All warheads impacted Allied territory, still at full leathality
and pretty close to where they would have hit anyway.
It was all theatre.
