Mid-Range Capability (MRC) Launcher from Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, Long Range Fires Battalion, 1st Multi-Domain Task Force arrives as part of the capability’s first deployment into theater on Northern Luzon, Philippines, April 7, 2024.

The Lockheed Martin-L3Harris team has won the Next Gen. Interceptor program and will work to field NGI by the end of the decade. The NGI features a multiple kill vehicle payload and provides increased performance against projected ICBM threats from North Korea & Iran.

Sure. We’d be doing this to Russia right now if nuclear deterrence didn’t work.

There's a lot of #SHORAD force structure coming to the US Army in a very short amount of time. On IFPC alone, the Army is ordering 256 launchers between FY24 and FY28.

FY24: 24 Launchers
FY25: 44 Launchers
FY26: 58 Launchers
FY27: 70 Launchers
FY28: 60 Launchers

More than 80 one-way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles and at least six ballistic missiles intended to strike Israel from Iran and Yemen. This includes a ballistic missile on its launcher vehicle and seven UAVs destroyed on the ground in Iranian-backed Houthi controlled areas. 👇

Even US Patriot bros managed a TBM kill.

Strike Eagles had themselves a night. Senior adm official: 494th and 335th Fighter Squadrons had dozens of takedowns last night. President Biden today spoke with the commanders of the squadrons.

US aircraft shot down more than 70 drones. Navy aircraft involved as well.

Besides 'he pulled it from his ass', is there any indication that the entire US engagement of drones occurred through surface vessel launched interceptors?

Mid course defense works folks.

That’s actually not a whole lot for defending this sort of attack. There’s cost associated with launching such an attack as well not to mention the economic mismatch here.

120 ballistic missiles (& with ~ 1000km range) may be unprecedented in the 80 yrs since the first V2s took off. The scale of the attack, its direct state vs state nature & the possibility these may become nuclear delivery vehicles means 🇮🇱 can hardly avoid a powerful response.

Reminder of what a proper drone strike looks like
