They’re like $1.5 billion USD each, roughly adjusted for inflation.
And… I think there were only like, 12 of these things, total. Anywhere. As of a week ago.
We reportedly have been trying to take away the one we use in South Korea, to redeploy it.
This is … beyond completely tits up.
Trump is saying the US Navy will just escort any willing vessel through the Strait of Hormuz.
And… what, we’re gonna use all our fleet defensive systems, to … shoot down the missiles that Iran can build 10x faster than we can build interceptors?
Taiwan is now completely fucked, if anyone hasn’t figured that out yet, we will now almost certainly not have enough missiles to repel an invasion from the PLAN and PLAAF.
This is… extremely bad situation, if you are generally a fan of yourself and other people not dieing a violent death.
We… we lost two THAAD radar arrays, already.

They’re moving at least one from S Korea to replace one of the destroyed ones. Hopefully it gets blown up too.
That’s fucked. Kim Jong Un probably has a boner reading about this
