Talk:THAAD
Effective After All?
So after the talk about THAAD being useless against North Korea's missiles, it now proves to work fine? If I'm understanding correctly, the this should be updated here, since right now this says it "is ineffective against intermediate-range missiles of the kind that North Korea has been testing in late 2016 and early 2017." --David B (TALK) 23:52, 11 July 2017 (EDT)
- I updated the article to reflect more recent developments with THAAD, and I think I corrected the part about whether THAAD is useless, even though I would like someone else to double-check. --1990'sguy (talk) 00:03, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
"most expensive" =/= "most successful" or "most advanced". RobSZelensky Must Go! 06:47, October 21, 2025 (EDT)
Technically, if it made two kills in 2 firings, it could be considered among "the most successful"; however as my understanding is (a) it has never faced a peer competitor; (b) it exists in limited numbers and has been canceled due to costs. RobSZelensky Must Go! 06:51, October 21, 2025 (EDT)
Question: Can it defend against existing, operational MIRVs or MaRVs? RobSZelensky Must Go! 06:58, October 21, 2025 (EDT)
