Video Description

On January 17, 1991, the laws of physics seemed to break over the skies of Tel Aviv. Soviet military doctrine stated that intercepting a ballistic missile in its terminal phase was mathematically impossible. Yet, on live television, the world watched as American technology swatted Iraqi Scuds out of the sky with terrifying precision. This documentary reveals the confusion inside the Kremlin, the frantic investigation by Soviet intelligence, and the technological secret inside the Patriot missile that proved the Cold War was lost not to nuclear weapons, but to computer code.
