The U.S. has announced plans to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system in Israel, according to reports from the Times of Israel. This system is specifically designed to intercept short, medium, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles during their terminal phase.
THAAD utilizes a “hit-to-kill” approach, meaning it engages targets at altitudes ranging from 40 to 150 km and distances of up to 200 km. This advanced technology is crucial for enhancing Israel’s defense capabilities against potential missile threats.
With the deployment of THAAD, Israel will be better equipped to protect its citizens and infrastructure from potential missile attacks. Stay tuned for updates on this significant development.
