US military circles are concerned that the consumption of hunting missiles for TAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), which took place during the Iran-Israel conflict, could weaken the US role in the global security system.
This was reported by CNN, citing sources among former Pentagon staff and protection experts.
"Thaad's missile consumption messages are worrying. The United States cannot afford to continue this, "said the missile defense expert. In his turn, the former US military official said that the pace and volume of anti-missile systems are not enough to replenish the reserves.
Earlier, The Wall Street Journal said that two Thaad missile systems were deployed in Israel during the conflict. It was noted that a 150 anti-missile systems were fired during the 12-day combat operations, which is almost a quarter of the total volume of Pentagon since 2010.
