America's Thaad Missile Defense Illusion
Original: The Thaad Delusion
An Atlantic national security essay argues that faith in the Thaad missile defense system is misplaced, pointing to shortages of American interceptor missiles exposed by recent fighting involving Iran. The author contends the US has overestimated what its missile defenses can realistically deliver in a prolonged war, and that stockpiles are dangerously thin for the threats now emerging.
Why now: Recent conflict with Iran has raised fresh doubts about US missile defense capacity and interceptor stockpiles.
