The Pentagon has sent the THAAD missile defense system to Israel. The Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is a missile defense system that detects missiles at a distance of 1000 km and can hit them at a distance of 200 km and at an altitude of 200 km. This missile defense system consists of six launchers. Each launcher has eight missiles. THAAD costs approximately $1 billion. The maintenance crew of the complex is about 100 people.
A special point here is that the United States supplies not only the missile defense system but also its own military personnel who will operate this complex.
There are already a small number of American troops in the country, but this new deployment of about 100 troops is important because it signals the gradual involvement of the United States in a regional war. The deployment of American troops to Israel, outside of exercises, is extremely rare, given Israel’s own capabilities.
The THAAD missile defense system is in great demand, including in Ukraine. To counteract constant Russian missile attacks. Moreover, now with the arrival of winter cold, Putin will begin to strike even harder at Ukraine’s energy sector. The goal is to leave Ukrainian civilians in the dark and cold.
In addition to the United States and Israel, the THAAD missile defense system is already in place in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, and Japan. For some unknown reason, the Biden administration has not responded to Ukraine’s requests.
When it comes to defending Ukraine, Joe Biden claims to be afraid of escalation. When it comes to defending Israel, hundreds of aircraft from the United States, Britain, France, and Kuwait take to the skies to shoot down Iranian missiles. In addition to aircraft, air defense systems from American warships are used to help Israel’s air defense. And no one is afraid of escalation.
When Israel launched an air strike on a Russian base in Syria, no one cared about the bluff of Putin’s mafia in the Kremlin.
At one point in time, two simultaneous actions are taking place in different parts of our planet. Biden’s group expresses deep concern, and Putin’s troops continue to advance, seize new towns and villages, and kill Ukrainians.
