The THAAD delusion and America's missile shortage
Original: The THAAD delusion
An Atlantic analysis argues that American reliance on the THAAD missile defense system rests on a false sense of security, with US interceptor stockpiles running dangerously low after their heavy use in the war with Iran. The piece contends that each defense costs far more than the attacks it stops, and that the arsenal cannot be replenished quickly enough to sustain a prolonged conflict.
Why now: Concerns over US missile defense capacity and interceptor shortages following the Iran war are resurfacing in security debates.
