Pentagon Confirms 1 THAAD Battery to Deploy to Israel
▪️1 battery has between 6-9 launchers for a maximum of 72 missiles;
▪️ at 2 missiles per incoming target, 1 battery at full strength can be used against 36 incoming targets;
▪️It is unlikely 1 battery (together with Israel’s existing air defenses) will be enough to prevent a large scale missile barrage from inflicting heavy damage;
▪️Successive waves of missiles will not only exhaust both Israeli and US interceptors, it will leave the US depleted for years to come;
