It honestly shows you these systems are pretty much obsolete that’s why they are moving on to stealth and high speed ucav similar to what turkey and other countries are developing

Trumo admin basically doing all it can to lower the oil price via messaging. Now desperately looking for face saving way out, Iran not letting them.
This is the point of when you sanction a country so bad for decades. They have nothing to lose, while the West is slowly getting economically strangled....

Saudi Arabia enhances air defenses by commissioning its first THAAD battery
Saudi Arabia enhances air defenses by commissioning its first THAAD battery
Saudi air defense forces have officially launched their first U.S.-built THAAD battery, following comprehensive testing, inspection, and field-training exercises conducted within the kingdom. This initiative is part of a broader effort to train operational and maintenance crews for the ballistic missile “hunter,” considered a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s air defense infrastructure.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), a flag was presented during an inauguration ceremony at the Air Defense Forces Institute in Jeddah, marking the system’s entry into official service. The project aims to strengthen air defense readiness and protect national airspace and strategic installations.
THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) is the only U.S. missile-defense system capable of intercepting short to intermediate-range ballistic missiles, both inside and outside the atmosphere. Each battery typically requires around 100 personnel, consists of six truck-mounted launchers (each with up to eight interceptors), a powerful radar unit, and an advanced BM/C3I command-and-control system.
Saudi crews previously completed training at Fort Bliss, Texas, with at least two batteries trained and certified.
In 2017, Riyadh signed a $15 billion deal with Washington to acquire seven THAAD batteries, which included 44 launchers, 360 interceptors, seven AN/TPY‑2 radar units, and 16 mobile fire-fighting units.
Recent collaboration between Lockheed Martin and Saudi Arabia’s International Iron & Construction Company has produced the first domestically built THAAD launchers, supporting the localization of military industries within the kingdom. Ahmed Al‑Uhly, Governor of the General Authority for Military Industries, confirmed Saudi Arabia’s ambition to localize at least 50% of military spending by 2030. This includes the domestic production of munitions, vehicles, drones, and even Patriot system components.
The THAAD system comprises four main components: a mobile launcher, a single-stage interceptor missile, a dedicated THAAD radar, and an integrated BM/C3I command infrastructure. The interceptor has a range of 150–200 km, while the AN/TPY‑2 radar can detect missiles 870–3,000 km away. THAAD can neutralize short- and medium-range ballistic threats both inside and outside the atmosphere, offering a higher-altitude complement to the Patriot system.
THAAD’s development began in 1992, a prototype was first tested in 1995, and full-scale production began in 2000. The U.S. first approved foreign sales in 2012, selling the system to Qatar and the UAE, which deployed their first batteries in 2016. They trained crews at Fort Bliss and were operational by 2016.
In 2022, amid heightened Houthi missile attacks on Saudi and Emirati interests, THAAD proved its effectiveness in intercepting ballistic missiles aimed at both countries. Former CENTCOM commander Kenneth McKenzie confirmed its active role in protecting Emirati airspace. The U.S. continues collaborating with regional partners to enhance defense capabilities against drone threats.

Riyadh, August 25, 2025, SPA -- The Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces announced the graduation of the third company of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system after its personnel completed specialized individual training at Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas.
This graduation is part of an integrated plan to qualify operation and maintenance crews for the THAAD system, one of the world's most advanced missile defense systems and a key component of the Kingdom's air defense.
The graduates participated in intensive programs, including technical and operational training, combat simulation, and advanced field exercises, conducted under the supervision of the manufacturer’s experts and in cooperation with the US military as part of a joint defense agreement.
The training program aligns with the Ministry of Defense's strategy to enhance military capabilities and improve combat readiness in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

If Trump is blackmailed ok just impeach him and make the next to sign a de-nuclearisation agreement with Israel.
By the way, Irán should ask war compensations. They started all this sh*t illegally they can ask compensations.

Let me emphasis again, you have a better chance of getting the entire world denuclearization than convincing Israel to denuclearize. That will never ever ever happen. Not after the Holocaust.
Iran now has a legitimate to nuclearization. A test before the end of the year is not science fiction. It is doable.
Iran is facing existential threat, being a threshold nation didn’t help it. Will have to go for nuclear weapons.
Likely already happening since June war.
