THAAD: The anti-missile system US is sending to Israel

Table of Content

The Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, which the U.S. is deploying to Israel, is one of the military’s most advanced anti-missile systems. Its ability to intercept ballistic missiles at ranges of 150 to 200 kilometers, along with a near-perfect success rate in tests, makes it a powerful deterrent against missile threats.

How THAAD Works

THAAD integrates sophisticated radar and interceptors to engage and destroy various ballistic missiles, including short-, medium-, and intermediate-range types. Unlike conventional missile defense systems that use explosive warheads, THAAD employs kinetic interceptors, meaning they neutralize incoming threats through direct impact. This approach enhances precision and reduces the risk of collateral damage, making it a highly effective defense mechanism.

Despite its capabilities, the deployment of THAAD in Israel has sparked controversy, raising questions about regional security dynamics and its implications for U.S. relations in the Middle East.
