Ken Bacon Missile Quotations

There is extensive movement in Iraq's air defense system. We assume that this movement is for two reasons. Part of it is defensive, so that it is harder for us to target ... air defense missiles, particularly SA-6 missiles, but also SA-2 missiles and ROLAND missiles, and we also think that some of it is offensive.

The Iraqis move forces back and forth on sort of an unpredictable basis from time to time; they do appear to be moving some missiles and other forces into the southern no-fly zone.

Sophisticated systems such as the SAM-6 missile can be moved very easily. The Iraqis do that, and the Serbs do it as well.

I'm not sure that the fact that the launch facility is primitive makes the missiles any less threatening.

He fires quite a lot of AAA (anti-aircraft artillery) and missiles at us
