Enligt nedan kanske Iran kommer träffa bättre. Fast finns det nån sanning i att Iran slagit ut dessa radarsystem i UAE och Qatar. Okänd källa för mig. Iransk propaganda?
The destruction of a second United States Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in West Asia, alongside its dedicated radar in the United Arab Emirates and a US$1.1 billion (RM4.18 billion) early warning radar in Qatar, signals a systemic fracture in Washington’s layered missile defence architecture across the Gulf.
In an official statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared that its Aerospace Force executed precision strikes that rendered the second THAAD battery “out of operational orbit,” while confirming the prior elimination of the associated radar at Al Ruwais base in the UAE, fundamentally degrading theatre-level ballistic missile interception capacity.
The IRGC further asserted that with the destruction of these high-value defensive nodes, “the missile hand of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been opened for successful target hits,” a declaration that reframes the regional deterrence equation and introduces a compressed decision-making cycle for US Central Command and Gulf security planners.
These claims follow the Qatari Ministry of Defence’s rare public confirmation that a US-operated AN/FPS-132 Block 5 Upgraded Early Warning Radar (UEWR), installed in 2013 at a cost of approximately US$1.1 billion (RM4.18 billion), was destroyed in a separate Iranian strike, underscoring both technical vulnerability and political exposure.
Collectively, the reported neutralisation of a second THAAD battery, its ground-based radar in the UAE, and the AN/FPS-132 Block 5 UEWR in Qatar constitutes a sequential dismantling of the United States’ integrated air and missile defence (IAMD) network in the Gulf, with cascading implications for force posture, logistics resilience, and strategic signalling.
