The SCUD was doing a much easier job, though. And the amount the patriot missed by is actually pretty close to the accuracy of a SCUD at hitting its target.

The SCUD was developed in mid-1950s using technology pioneered in 1940s. Back then, the only feasible electronics were based on vacuum tubes. Noir films were hip, chrome fins on the cars were just in, ball joints in suspensions were about to appear, and it was socially acceptable to call black man a negro.

I think it did amazing job in the 90s against the arguably most technically advanced and innovative military, even more so considering it was pushed past its original specs.
