U.S. deploys THAAD missile defense system to Israel

[fitpOsitive]

In SK the Alibi was the nuclear arsenal of NK..but in Usrael, what is the Alibi?, since the only nuclear force around is apparently Usrael itself..there is no logic here..

There is actually.
After demolition of Syria, Israels next plan will be, expension.
For that, Turkey is a big hurdle.
I think, the next phase of Israels plan is about to commence. Nato may soon be demolished, and new European alliance might surface soon, that will be free from USA. Power plug of USA might soon be unplugged.
And with that, attack on Turkey will start.
It's all about Turkey, not Iran.

Tel Aviv- Asharq Al-Awsat


The Israeli army regarded the deployment of US THAAD missile defense system for the first time in Israel as an indication of boosting bilateral historical relations and a strategic alliance.

However, political opposition figures in Tel Aviv said that the timing was not coincidental, as it reflected obvious efforts by US President Donald Trump to see his friend and ally, Benjamin Netanyahu, as prime minister of the Israeli government once again after the upcoming elections.

The Israeli army has earlier revealed that as part of a drill conducted by the United States European Command (EUCOM), the US military will deploy for the first time the THAAD missile defense system in Israel.

It said the drill was conducted few days after the two countries completed a more routine joint exercise, Juniper Falcon, as part of the joint operation of the system to practice rapid deployment across the globe of complex systems.

The drill “emphasizes the US’ commitment to the defense and security of Israel.”

“The Israeli army is working in cooperation with US forces in order to enhance coordination between the two militaries and to strengthen the ability to defend Israeli airspace,” the army added.

It is also considered a chance to enhance cooperation with the Israeli army’s air defense systems.

The army also said it “stands ready to protect Israel’s airspace and civilians against a variety of threats from near and far,” noting that “this is a defensive deployment that is not related to any specific current event.”

Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is considered one of the world’s most advanced defense systems that intercepts short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.

Its capabilities are determined by factors such as location, range, and threat characteristics.

The system has capabilities within and beyond the air layer, using kinetic energy to intercept missiles.

According to the Israeli army, this system constitutes a “qualitative addition to the Israeli air defense capabilities specialized against long-range ballistic missiles”.

This may be the reason for deployment of THAAD in Israel.

Good news for Suadis

Expansion, Nato and Turkey.. Oh common you can read your own post, can't you?

This may be the reason for deployment of THAAD in Israel.

It is possible, since there are rumours that a Usraeli pilot was downed in Kashmir..just rumours for now, but who knows..

They may be flying M2Ks of Indian air force

 

[The SC]

They may be flying M2Ks of Indian air force

That is one possibility, and since they upgrade the Mig-21 and SU-30 they must have pilots to test the Avionics and other systems.. so definitely Usrael have pilots who can fly the Indian jets..

[Wa Muhammada]

The European alliance.

I think that’s a bit far fetched

 

[Bengal71]

It looks like it is against Iranian missiles but there could be more to it.

With Turkey's relationship getting worse with the US and NATO, maybe they are looking to setup alternative bases.

Will happen in 2 to 3 years.
Pakistan will be attacked first. Meanwhile Israel will start a big war in Middle East.
May be I m wrong, but this is what I believe.

You are talking no less than a WW3..a bit far-fetched..
I believe this THAAD deployment in Usrael is to counter the S-400 move by Turkey..it is more symbolic than anything else..
