Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 12 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Doug Krause I read in the paper that the Iraqi modified SCUDs (Al-Hussein and Al-Abbass?) have a speed of Mach 5. This seems excessive since our Patriot system is supposed to "only" go Mach 3. Does anybody have the correct speed on these two missiles?
