    It is entirely-possible I’m wrong, but ttbomk “interceptor” has a rather-specific meaning:

    it means a 2-person anti-bomber warplane, which has to be able to climb, FAST, to intercept incoming bombers: immense thrust-to-mass ratio on them.

    Patriot-system is an anti-missile-system, not an interceptor, by that convention.

        I think your escapes need to go the other direction.

      Interceptors don’t have to be 2 person. Even the Delta Dart in that photo used to represent an interceptor is a single seat. The Delta Dart had a ground control system that essentially flew the plane by radar. The closest modern plane to an interceptor is the Gripen and it also is single seat with a strong link to its ground station.
