THAAD Can't Tackle Low Flying Rocket And Drones, US, Israel Are Joking by Biodun556(op): 6:25pm On Oct 15, 2024
Syria has S300 air defense system but how does Israel managed to consistently attack Syria without being caught ?


Israel fighter jets attack Syria by flying in a very low altitude because all the missiles in the S300 has minimum and maximum range.

Assuming a missile in a air defense system can travel minimum of 1 kilometer and the drones or rocket is fired below that altitude, it will definitely out smart the air defense system and hit targets.

Also, how many Thaad is US deploying that will tackle 500 missiles at once?

Israel and US must give peace a chance by stopping the genocide and recognized Palestine as independent state on its own

I do not think that anybody said THAAD was a solution for low-flying drones. The Iron Dome can handle that. THAAD is intended for cruise and ballistic missiles... that being said I hate that the American tax funds are being used to defend Israel... Israel needs to make peace with its neighbors period.

Same for S300 and S400 series, they are designed for long-range, ballistic, cruise missile, and aerial denial defense. The Russians have the Pantsir system for low-flying objects.

Peace starts by removing the settlers in the West Bank and honoring the UN border for the two-state solution. Bibi has clearly said that he is not interested in that.

In as much as I do not support the Israeli war ... Iron dome hasn't failed lol If I am being non-biased. All air defenses have one weakness "They can be overwhelmed"

The attack on the Golani brigade housing was an ingenious move by Hezbollah and I respect them for that.

Iron Dome is not a 360-degree air defense system, instead, it is 180 degrees. It is forward facing, Hezbollah used a drone that flew outside of its range to the West and then U-turn behind its defense to attack that building... while overwhelming the iron dome from the Northern front.

Now here is the question: If Hezbollah has the intelligence to know the direction of the Iron dome systems for the barrack, I wonder what else they know or Iran knows about the Israeli defense lol but again, EVERY AIR DEFENSE CAN BE OVERWHELMED.

They don't have 500 batteries at all times ready to intersect if 500 missiles are thrown at it.

Arm chair analyst that knows better than the people who know what threats they face. You know better than those sending THAAD and those that will receive it.

You know all these and yet your brothers are not taking advantage of this your knowledge.

There were two drones on the radar initially and fighter jet was scrambled to intercept them. One was shot down. It was not the iron dome that intercepted them, but fighter jets. The other went out of radar making them think that it was downed like the other. It re-emerged afterwards and hit the training Base.

Not all Israel is covered by air defenses.

Do not mind them. They have all these intelligence and knowledge, yet "Free Palestine" and "Free Lebanon" pollutes the net.

My heart goes out for the innocent in these places who do not support hamas and Hezbollah.

First, I never said iron dome got the downed one.

2nd, you reaffirmed what I said… iron dome is not a 360 degrees radar system, it’s a 180 degrees system that can only see where it’s facing.

3rdly, it fell out of radar they said… in other words they lost it.

Why are you lamenting online? Go and sell your idea to Iran or Hezbollah now and collect money for your service. How is that a nairaland problem? If hamas, Hezbollah and Iran know how to do that will they allow Isreal to beat them to coma and send hamas and Hezbollah on compulsory leave to mohammad to get their 72 virgins?You stay in your room with propagandas analysing what you never hold for hand or use ?

Engineers who are designers and custodian of knowledge that implemented that never shared the operating manual with you or explain its mode of operation, but you are here with your Hezbollah mentality of propagandas to detect its flaws with mere mouth. If Iran, Hezbollah and hamas knew that, do you think they will keep wasting money over failed missiles? Hope you know it is the same THAAD USA deployed to UAE in 2022 to help her from threat of Iran and her terrorists. Go and study how fantastic it worked, you are analysing technical and engineering equipment with theoretical mere mouth. You are very funny and ignorant!

Let's say they have 500 batteries for interception, the reloading, launch and interception window will still give room for missile impact.

The reload time is enough room for missile to hit, that’s why they say there’s not true air defense.

Aside from Iran, Russia on other side could be providing some intelligence because of Israel support for Ukraine


Also, the deployment of Thaad could caught Russia attention more because Russia will be willing to see Thaad failure to sell S400

Isreal support Ukraine is so far limited to humanitarian support. And neither did Isreal every condemned Russia ...

You no why ? 20% of Isreali population are Russian jews smiley Isreal cannot work against Russia, at least so far.

What's the meaning of Israel need to make peace with it neighbors? I don't understand.

Was it Israel that initiated the October 7 attack or the one that fired rockets into Lebanon first and Hezebollah decide to respond?

Pls say things the way it is, Israel want peace that's why they left Gaza in 2005,and in 2006 a resolution 1701 was made with Lebanon, Israel is not the aggressor here.

Palestinians have been under an apartheid regime since 1947.

If Israel wanted peace it would stop building settlements in West Bank and pushing Palestinian farmers out of their land in Gaza.

And stop screaming Oct 7, was the first time the Hamas managed to hit back at Israel… since 1947 Isreal has been killing these people.

Again, no supporting the Oct 7th action but that’s not the beginning of this mess.

Again, lasting peace is respecting the two-state solution and the border that UN approved.

The last Israeli PM who tried to implement it, was assassinated upon landing back in Israel.

Oh Hamas wouldn't have won the elections if it wasn't for the socialism it offered the Gazans ...

There are recordings of Bibi saying during his campaigns, that they need Hamas to win the elections in Gaza. And part of his corruption charges in Isreal was sending cash to support Hamas election campaign bids. Digest that! Its on youtube, I didn't make that up.

What do you mean by they've been under apathied regime since 1947?
Did Israel stop them from developing their own country? Is it only Israel they share border with?
You guys make it look as if these guys are in prison, how do they manage to build tunnels and bring in weapons to fire at Israel but can't bring in investment or development the same way?

A two government system was suggested did they agree to it? Since Israel left Gaza in 2005 what did they do with the green houses and other things left by the Israelis over there?

All this apathied talk is stale, it doesn't fly anymore say something else.

Okay.

Sept 2023 Isreal was still bombing Gaza and also arresting people randomly in West Bank.. just about 10 days before Oct 7th.

Let me guess, you have partial amnesia and only remember Oct 7.

Again, all parties agreed to two state solution. Except for BiBi’s Israel.

The last Israeli PM that went to Washington and agreed to implement the two state solution was Yitzhak Rabin and was assassinated after getting back to Isreal.

Stay safe with your deliberate amnesia or ignorance oh maybe blind loyalty😂

Exactly! Some people seem to have selective amnesia and they suddenly remember only Oct 7.

They forgot what let to it.

IDF can go after every Hamas because of Oct 7 that’s perfectly fine, but not every Palestinians including women and children is HAMAS.

US wasn’t bombing the whole of Afghanistan or Iraq during the war on terror reign. They target their enemies with minimal civilian casualties.

It's obvious you're the one with amnesia, Yasser Arafat rejected the Oslo peace accord which in included the 2 state solution, the present Hamas leaders still reject the two state solution

You're just a clown who just run of with whatever nonsense you see online without doing your own research.

You’re playing the clown here 😂

I can pull many official news media where Bibi have said the Oslo is not an option and never will be since after the assassination of Rabin in 1995.

Check the date you posted that was few months into this current escalation when the hostage situation were being used as a leverage for negotiations, and check when they’ve been begging for the Oslo accord to be implemented. Did Hamas leader also assassinated Rabin in 1995? Who was the first known PM who wanted to implement it. And went to Washington with the then PLO leader.

You definitely have some partial amnesia indeed.

Peace ✌🏾
