摘要

The American-led coalition's 21-day march to Baghdad confirmed the extraordinary capacity of tightly integrated and carefully orchestrated offensive forces to achieve rapid success. American missile defences performed less impressively, however. While Patriot batteries intercepted nine threatening Iraq ballistic missiles, they were not so successful against Iraqi cruise missiles and other low-flying threats. Iraq's use of non-ballistic missiles also contributed to a series of friendly fire accidents and the loss of two coalition aircraft and three crew members. America's adversaries will likely absorb these lessons and accelerate their acquisition of non-ballistic missiles. Without a degree of joint-service integration comparable to that which has transformed its offensive forces, American missile defences could become increasingly vulnerable to adversaries who combine ballistic and cruise missiles attacks with flights of unmanned air vehicles. And if these delivery vehicles are armed with weapons of mass destruction, this vulnerability could be catastrophic.
