So much for the glorious impregnable Israeli air defence system.
It also pretty much means the inevitable Israeli response to Iran’s missile attack will escalate into a general war
No wonder Israel is investing heavily into those fancy Laser defense systems. The War in Ukraine and even the Red Sea situation has shown that shooting down cheap drones with missiles that cost 2m a piece is just not sustainable for the Defender, and even the most modern Air Defence can just be overwhelmed by raw numbers.
Honestly ridiculous that American boots are going to be on the ground in Israel when the idf is actively attacking UN peace keepers and still conducting a genocidal campaign in Gaza.
Stationing a THAAD battery is beneficial to Israel and the US. The US pressured Israel to limit it response in Iran, posting a battery is a good carrot. Israel is bolstering it defence against Iran, an arrow 3 missile cost 3 million dollars and we don’t know how many of those Israel have.
