The THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) missile defense system (ABM), developed in the United States, as experts of the 19FortyFive publication write, forces the enemy to put up with great uncertainty. The source calls the complex a "missile umbrella" capable of influencing the enemy's planning of strikes.

THAAD is a mobile system, as well as capable of covering important objects. The Americans equip the complex with Patriot anti-aircraft systems and Aegis systems.

"The presence of THAAD forces opponents to increase the number of missile volleys, adjust trajectories and put up with uncertainty," the source writes.

Thanks to the action of the "umbrella", the US military is able to complicate the planning of enemy strikes and increase the cost of its missile attacks. THAAD uses kinetic interceptors capable of approaching targets at high speed, and the onboard homing head can even distinguish a warhead from fallen debris.

EADaily previously also informed that the Western military is now learning how to protect precisely from the experience of SMO.
