buddy larsen:
fedya, in your self-ed effort on the topic, be sure and look into anti-ship missile ’swarm’ tactics

VERY good point! I wuz wonderin’ whether Phalanx guns were capable of defending a SAM site, right? If two or three Phalanx guns can keep a SAM or Patriot site clear of swarmed incoming over a sustained assault, then keeping a perimeter of ground-mobile Phalanx sustaining a protective envelope around a Patriot battery would be, er, invincible(at least absent overwhelming local ground assault), no?

Just playing hopeful, you know. Prob’ly applies to them tub floaters, too, don’t it?
