Unless the target is a Chinese balloon

Love to see the Laser version of THAAD !!! 👍🏽

[TheRoyalBavarian]

When this thing hits your ancestors will feel it.

[marcroberts]

I think we're gonna need this soon 😵‍💫

"THAAD can even shoot down targets in space."

No shit. It's in the name. Theater High Altitude Area Defense.

Not using a warhead is hard for me to fathom ! It would seem to me that if you miss the target by a foot you would want to have a warhead to finish the job ! Am I right ?

[markr]

THAAD'S terrific. That's a real rapid ram bam thank you mam missile slammer. I liiike it.

[xvozref]

Now would be the perfect time to re-introduce the missile shield that Putin cried about. Make him unable to use his nuclear threat, that'll make him cry but maybe even pull out

[killerjhul]

Does it work against hypersonic missiles? That is kinds what we need right now.

[ss]

Something tells me this was introduced 30 years ago

[twright]

This was Reagan's vision for Star Wars...

THAAD looks a cool missile defence, any missiles that save countless lives are cool in my opinion.

[bobbybluntrock]

I agree and also I agree we have some very lethal big time.

[pikapikacool]

Can it intercept hypersonic missiles tho?

[captainamerica]

I hope we have thousand ready to go I have a feeling we're going to need them soon

[calebstephens]

@just_imagine THAAD isn’t the United States’ most effective missile defense system. That would be the AEGIS missile defense system which is wayyyy more complex and has a much higher intercept rate.

[brandons]

I made prototype parts for this missile system years ago.

[robertbogie]

Damn, no proximity fuss, that's amazing!!

[BennyRich]

The Americans have all the mighty toys!
Greetings from the UK.

"An explosion several miles wide in the sky" that a little hard to believe for something that carries no warhead. Wouldn't the explosion size be a direct result of whatever missile the system is targeting? Idk if you know this but an explosion miles wide is essentially a nuke. Not even the moab has that large of a blast radius
