Any chance we were able to shoot some of these missiles down before impact?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Just curious.

Yes. Patriot is operational around there

I'd imagine these are short-range missiles and don't get the altitude to allow countertactics.

If they’re ballistic they absolutely do.

Take out the air force bases where they came from.

I would assume that we shot down most of the ones fired. But large salvos, some are going to get through no matter how good your tech is.

There was a twitter video showing some of the missiles being intercepted.

A Patriot 2+ missile couldn't shoot down a Scud reliably.
