Formidable ABM shield
they have admitted their Arrow inventory is running low and they are working 24/7 to replace spent interceptors, that could be why they are delaying their attack and begging the US to send them more air defence systemsStill cant deal with a saturated attack. But it will mean their adversaries have the capability first and then the numbers to defeat the setup.

THAAD and Arrow are very advanced ABM systems but we have seen that KS-2 can defeat Arrow
USA only has 7 THAAD batteries deployed globallyIt will take years to replace the Arrow 2/3 intercetors that have been used up just against Iran over the last 6 months. We are looking at some dozens being manufactured a year, maybe nearing 100 hundred at most. Houthis are also expending some Arrows, although a fraction of what was used against Iranian attacks but every used Arrow interceptor is one less that is available.
The only thing that can make any difference within 1-2 months is more THAAD but guess what? Iran can slice through these defences as they showed on October 1st even with a single salvo of 200 missiles. Forget about launching 4-5 waves of 200 each as after 2nd wave, nearly everything will get through.
Bigger threat for Iran is US Soldiers operating THAAD , if they gets killed USA will be directly involved as it will be considered an attack on US, something Iran should avoid.
Furthermore:US said to transfer 2nd THAAD missile battery to Israel as Iran nuclear tensions rise
Deployment of defense system comes as PM set to meet Trump in DC; Iran says direct talks with US would be ‘meaningless’ if Washington continues threatening to attack
