the pac 2 is probably good against partrol craft only. i dont think it will have good sucess penatrateing the ak-630s cause it comes from up top. it would probalby just knock out the part of the sov it hit, not even mission kill. if it could kill destroyers, you dont need the harpoons anymore!

Echo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery fired and successfully engaged with the first PAC-3 missiles in combat. The Patriot also hit several non-Scud missiles launched against Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, including anti-ship missiles like the Silkworm missile. These missiles arc low to the ground (50km) compared to the Scud missiles which enter the stratosphere, allowing much less time to target and intercept the missile. As a result several of the missiles did get through but their effect was minimal.

apparently the German doesn't know what cost effectiveness and second fire role mean, and little Banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) is just repeating stuff he doesn't understand.
Going back to the original topic of using the PAC2 in SURFACE TO SURFACE mode, it can be done, probably. After all the PAC2 used TVM, which means it's under radar guidance during the entire flight path. So if a battalion of T-72s is advancing on your position in open terrain, which means you are presented with a clear line of fire, and a certain German in our forum is in command and decides to engage enemy armor with a SAM battery due to either testosterone or alcohol poisoning (or really, just the lack of a good brain), and some how, your radar can suppress the massive background return and discriminate against the incoming armor, then yes, you can engage them.
Do note that in practice, it's inpractical, even impossible, to implement the kind of signal analysis and filter required to turn an air search/illumination radar into a SAR.

Very well argued.
ger_mark do you have any response to that based strictly on technical
criteria and not opinions ?
