I'd heard Mach 1.

On this topic... does anyone have a handy list of the various weapons systems
in use in the Gulf, with information about range, speed and guidance system?
Many of us on the net don't have easy access to Janes'.

I'll start the ball rolling:

	Scud	186 mi (400 mi modified); Mach 1; inertial guidance
	Frog	43 mi; ?; unguided ("Free Rocket Over Ground")
	Patriot	37 mi; Mach 3; radar-guided
	
I know CNN has been showing information screens on various weapons, but I
haven't been jotting down much of the info.
