What is Thaad Air Defense System Know How this American Technology Saved Iran from Israel Attack

Thaad air defense system: Recently, when Iran directly fired hundreds of drones and missiles on Israel, the whole world was eyeing this confrontation. But during this serious attack, a technology saved Israel from great damage and that was America’s advance Thaad (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system. This air defense system stood at the forefront when Israel was under threat. So after all, what is this Thaad system, how it works and why it is considered so dangerous and reliable, let’s know.

What is Thaad?

Thaad means Terminal High Altitude Area Defense is an advanced missile system developed by US defense company Lockheed Martin. Its main objective is to destroy ballistic missiles in the upper part of the atmosphere so that they do not reach the target. This system is based on the ‘hit-to-cil’ technology which means that the enemy missile is hit and demolished without explosion.

What technique does Thaad work?

The THAAD missile defense system is based on exo-tmospheric interception, ie it can destroy missiles outside the Earth’s atmosphere. It contains a powerful an/TPY-2 radar system that tracks the enemy missile from hundreds of kilometers away. After that the interceptor missile of Thaad is launched, which goes at a speed -like speed and ends the enemy’s missile and eliminates it.

This is not a traditional explosive missile, but its energy and speed is enough to tear the enemy’s missile in the air. This is the reason why it is called the “hit-to-cil” technology which is one of the world’s most advanced missile defense techniques.

How did Thaad save Israel?

In Iran’s recent attack, which included dozens of cruise missiles and suicide drones, Israel’s own Iron Dome and David’s Sling System also deployed Thaad. Thaad has already intercepted ballistic missiles coming from height and rescued Israel’s population. If this system was not active, then perhaps many missiles would have reached their goals directly and there would have been great destruction.

How powerful is Thaad?

• It can track and intercept missiles at an altitude of more than 150 kilometers.
• Has the ability to kill ballistic missiles in the range of 200 kilometers.
• Its radar system can track up to a distance of more than 1000 km.
