See Ya THAAD: Aegis Ashore Romania

Описание: On the 9th of August 2019, NATO declared that its Aegis Ashore site in Deveselu, Romania completed a three-month upgrade process. During this period, the system had been taken offline. In order to make sure the area was still protected against any potential attacks, the U.S. Army decided to deploy one of its seven Terminal High-Altitude Area-Defense missile-interceptor batteries (THAAD). NATO also made sure to put the emphasis on the fact that the Aegis Ashore site in Romania is purely a defensive system. The U.S. Missile Defense Agency describes THAAD as a “land-based element capable of shooting down a ballistic missile both inside and just outside the atmosphere” (Missile Defence Agency, 2019). The U.S. Army also handles THAAD batteries to the island of Guam, South Korea and recently Israel. #WeAreNATO

THAAD este un element terestru al sistemului de apărare împotriva rachetelor balistice. Este transportabil si are o capacitate rapidă de a intercepta si distruge rachete balistice în interiorul sau in afara atmosferei în timpul fazei lor finale sau terminale de zbor. Această capacitate de a intercepta rachetele inamice la altitudini mari atenuează efectele înainte ca acestea să ajungă la sol.
