NATO Ballistic Missile Defence - How it works

Collective defence is at the core of NATO’s mission and its Ballistic Missile Defence capability is one of the key tools for keeping NATO nations safe.

This animation demonstrates in simple terms what would happen in the event of a hostile missile launch and how NATO would protect its members.

Thank heaven we have this. Hopefully, we will never have to use it.

Long live NATO and Ukraine, and all people in the world. Nuclear war is always bad.

Александр Ювентус, the system is able to protect against hundreds of missiles. You won't know the exact capabilities, but rest assure, Putin is so nervous for a reason. Russia's rusty nukes is his only card, and this card is no longer as strong as he wish it would be.

It's fascinating how you can rely on your rocket flying faster than the enemy's rocket in order to reach it.

Why does this system not has a secondary firing system that takes out the launcher ?

[Itsbuckjames]

Newer ballistic missiles don't follow a fixed path. We need a upgrade, fast.

[matthewrhodes]

Can it destroy 100s of missiles at once tho?

Great video to show the enemy the structure of the defense. Giving him the opportunity to think of a better way to attack. Anyway, has this defense system worked yet? There's a difference between an attacker using 30 year old weapons and an attacker who's at NATO technology level.

useless against MARV ( MAneubarable Rentry Vehicle) amd changing trajectories with decoys an chaffs like in Yars and topol-m missile

[minnkhant]

It's easy, you just detect and destroy before it hits huh 🤷

Please help Ukraine, make Ukraine a member now.

Watching this in Ukraine in 2022. #russiaisaterroriststate

[marinelsubu]

Yes, but where are the warheads and decoys? .
The ICBM goes up and separates the warheads that go to the targets.
How does such a system react?

[AnchoredHawk]

This made me a bit more comfy That I live in Germany thanks Nato

[tessl]

Maybe now is a good time to use this ..

[Whiplash]

It might be on actual display now in 2024-25
