If PAC 3 and THAADs were there, most of the missiles would be intercept. This is how it looks. Many ballistic missiles were intercepted in Saudi Arabia, which shows that the US missile defense is in good shape.
Arrow there is not chance for me or anyone to lie about the abyshmal-to-not-existing air defense capabilities of US and, most in general, western born military infrastructures and forces around the world:
since 1990 up to the latest attack to the Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia last year US air defense have regularly and shockingly failed to provide even only a semblance of protection in theirs area of deployment often failing to achieve even only a single interception in the course of those attacks.
What happened some day ago is simply the umpteenth confirmation of this rule about "air defense vulnerability" (sensitivity of air defense have no meaning in this context) of wide majority of US military structures around the world.
I have more times stressed that
military doctrine and struture of USA military forces is exclusively expeditionary and offensive in nature .
From those fundamental ideas originate two "umbalanced" force composition and infrastructure needs : a full Air-Centric force structure (even in its naval component) and planetary-level widespread Military BasesBoth
those factors increase of several times the economic burden for the realization of the elementary concepts at the basis of theirs doctrine
and obviously reduce at times the military cost-effectiveness (the "bang-for -the-bucks" in theirs slang)
of theirs military budget , but remain the only option to wage in very short times wars/limited conflicts against inferior enemies anywhere in the world.
The sub-products coming from those factors are:
a fundamental underdevelopment of Ground Forces - because US Command was very aware that never the forces produced and transported from over-the-ocean could ever compete with the continental and vastly superior Soviet Ground Forces and relied on extensive nuclear escalation to stop theirs advance - a
fundamental underdevelopment of Air Defense systems and coverage-.
The assumptions of USA Doctrine is that theirs bases, in particular
air bases with theirs weapon depots and command centers, would reamain relatively safe from enemy attacks because enemies sophisticated enough to be capable to destroy them (and in this way crumbling the same basis of theirs air-centric military structure) would be restrained by nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction while the others thanks to weapon treaties banning the exportation of offensive long range missiles, wouldn't be capable to destroy theirs aircraft and PGM depots in theirs widely dispoersed bases around the world.
US in substance has never developed both the technology and doctrine for the constitution of a real IAD simply because it would be totally impossbile for the US to create and place IAD networks at defense of theirs bases and theirs expeditionary forces around the world.
Even only a simple battery of Бук or even Панцирь-C (for not say С-300П/С-300В familes or С-400)
could have neutralized an attack like the one executed by Iran some days ago with short range tactical ballistic missiles, but US simply has NONE of similar, exactly like it lack purposely designed EW domes or masking equipment for those assets.
If anyone observe a typical US air base around the globe where gold-plated F-22s, F-35s and theirs equally gold-plated PGMs are stationed cannot avoid to remain shocked at the total lack of any layered air defense (often lacking even only a single layer even of theirs inferior systems !) EW defensive systems , and real hardening and masking elements ; practically they expose several dozen of billions and years of construction times to easy destruction in a matter of minutes by part of opponents using realtively low-cost and trivial attacking means simply because
they are confident that international insulation with the aid of theirs "allies" ,
economic pressure and
action from the interior bu parts of theirs infiltrated and well-paid fifth column agents will prevent a similar attack from happening.
That is theirs concept of "air defense".........
