I dont know what kind; couldnt find info. I thought patriots can be upgraded to serve as an attacking system, but Im might be wrong. anyhow, the US military presence in gulf are enough for "attacking"..

The patriot systems seem to be send there more as a reassurance symbol for the Arab regimes, than true 100% waterproof defense system. (no real attack weapons needed anymore, all the tomahawks and so on will come from subs, ships and all the rest of the mighty arsenal by planes, there would be no need nor benefit to get the Arab states bases too heavily involved, I guess)

I agree, We'll see in the near future if they have the claimed-military capabilities.

Of course they don't have the claimed military capabilities and their fantasying about obtaining them, just shows what kind of fiscal irresponsible megalomatic freaks they are. Hell even if they could build something close to being a bit effective, the lack of other overall military capabilities would turn it into just another easy target.
