The most advanced missile system on the planet can hunt and blast incoming missiles right out of the sky with a 100% success rate — from a truck.

With its unmatched precision, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) can equalize tensions around the world with its mobility and strategic battery-unit placement: In April 2013, the Pentagon deployed a THAAD battery to Guam in order to deter North Korean provocations and further defend the Pacific region.

Impressively, the THAAD missile does not carry a warhead, instead using pure kinetic energy to deliver "hit-to-kill" lethality to ballistic missiles inside or outside of the atmosphere. Each launcher carries up to eight missiles and can send multiple kill vehicles out, depending on the severity of the threat. Lockheed's THAAD launcher is one element of this highly integral anti-missile system. This graphic from Raytheon shows the rest of the equipment needed for each enemy-target interception.



How THAAD works
First, an incoming target missile is first launched from another location. Five minutes later a truck-mounted THAAD interceptor missile launches in pursuit of the target.

This is a close shot of what the THAAD missile looks like when launched:

According to the US Missile Defense Agency, there are more than 6,300 ballistic missiles outside of US, NATO, Russian, and Chinese control, and other US partners around the globe are looking to broker a deal to purchase THAAD.

The United Arab Emirates has become the first foreign buyer after signing a deal with the Department of Defense for $3.4 billion. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have "expressed interest," according to Richard McDaniel, vice president of Patriot Advanced Capability programs at Lockheed Martin. "We expect deals," he added.

Very soon, some buttlickers would come here and be saying they can jam it right away. lolzzz

I thought Israel have something similar

Quite different in specs but serves same purpose.

can't compare with almighty russia S500.

THAAD will be deceived & defeated by the Russian Khibiny and the Krasukha-2 electronic warfare devices.

The Krasukha-2 mounted on ICBMs (Topol-M) or SLBMs (Bulava) from Russia will influence the brain of the fired missiles from the THAAD & change its target, which results in the missiles hitting false targets.

What I'm saying is; while incoming ICBMs from Russia approaches from the East, their useless & overrated THAAD will be firing interceptors at the West. U dig?

Lastly, lemme quickly tell you this; with these Russian electronic warfare devices - Khibiny, Moskva-1, Krasukha-2, Rtut’-BM, and President-S; No ICBM or SLBM can penetrate the defence of Russia. You can google these EW devices I listed above & read abut them.

Any war or confrontation between Amerika & Mother Russia will result in total annihilation of Amerika and her forces (Quote Me Anywhere).

don't be too sure. haven't you heard about new america hypersonic missile.

You see, while Amerika is known throughout history to employ mind-boggling lies & propaganda to strike fear into the hearts of her rivals & competitors, the Russians do not make noise - they just get to work & quietly get the job done.

A good example is the entirely useless Patriot Defense System and the F-35 flying coffins.

Remember how Amerika said her RQ-170 Sentinel Drone was invincible until the Iranian forces shot it down in December 2011.

And guess what? The bastards at the Pentagon were quick to deny the incident until photos of the wreckage started popping up. The same way they denied that a Northrop Grumman B2-Spirit (Spirit of Missouri) was shot down in Yugoslavia in 1999 by a Russian S-125 Defense System.

Believe whatever Amerika says at your own peril - Hypersonic koo, Ultrasonic nii

im just glad the ass of the empire of lies is now opened to everyone to see..

True, you can't even compare the junk above with s-400. You can only compare it with a combined buk+s-300 missiles.

s-500 is built against space threat while s-300-s-400-Pasntir is for earth flying objects.

Amerika Wonder propaganda has been ongoing since the world began. No doubt, they have qood quality makes, but their over hype and over exaggeration is where the problem lies.

Even old Patriot air defense system MIM-104D batteries shot down two Hamas UAVs during Operation Protective Edge in 2014 and later, on September 23, 2014 an Israeli Patriot battery shot down a Russian made Sukhoi Su-24 supplied to Syria which had penetrated Israeli airspace.

do u get paid 4 this

okeyglm:

1. Only Russia is known to have deployed hypersonic missiles, the khinzhal.
2. US lies about the interception rate of its missile defense systems, that was how they were saying their patriot has 95% interception rate until Iraqi scud missiles started penetrating. Plus the THAAD has only been tested 14 times.
3.It can be made useless by a swarm attack.
4. All you need is a missile faster than mach 8 to defeat it.
5. Missiles flying low altitude will defeat it.
6. If it is so good, they won't be threatening India and turkey to buy it instead of S400.

Hmmm

Na lie, S400 is the way to go.

If anybody fires at our planes, weather they have an s600 or s900, we will take them out. Israeli General.
