The U.S. is deploying the THAAD system in Israel to evaluate its effectiveness against Iran's hypersonic ballistic missiles amidst heightened regional tensions.
THAAD can intercept missiles both inside and outside Earth's atmosphere, using a kinetic energy approach rather than traditional explosive warheads, enhancing its defensive capabilities.
While THAAD is effective against sophisticated ballistic threats, it cannot combat smaller weapons like drones, highlighting its limitations in modern warfare scenarios.
The deployment includes U.S. soldiers to operate the THAAD system, underlining the strategic military cooperation between the United States and Israel.
