Secrets of THAAD: Protecting America from Ballistic Missiles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2024
- The THAAD Missile is a key element of the United states Ballistic Missile Defense System and the system made by Lockheed Martin Corporation, has been available for military use since 2008. Nearly all sources agree it’s designed to detect, track and shootdown short-range, medium-range, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles, not ICBM.

My father designed part of the target acquisition system on THAAD. He spent his entire life working for the BMDO and after retiring he went back as a contractor to continue working on the project. He's now 83 and still working as a Senior Scientific Advisor.
as a son of another dod scientist i salute you
maybe we should take up the work our fathers did
Tell your father thank you. American patriot
Your father is an unspoken hero of the modern era.
Your dad waist is life for nothing. Because Thad is no good. Check out the Russian S500 and S550 😂😂
Are you lying or being truthful if so he is badass
THAAD deployed in South Korea, played an essential role in regional security and geopolitics.
OH no! its hypersonic! lol
@@Kenneth_James THAAD missiles can hit hypersonic speeds. Mach 8 I believe.
THAAD deploy in ukraine AND shout korea is the reason why russia and china, actuallly not happy !!!
haha this is the REASON why war escalate in ukraine ,,,, but we all know, USA is the target of the world ,,, dont blame them to be on defensive
@@captainpobtamere3024 I lost brain cells reading your comment. xD
Thanks Sam And Crew For Another Excellent Video. 👍 🇺🇸
I saw this missile system in action over the sky in Abu Dhabi 2 years ago against a Houthi drone strike. Thank you USA for giving us this to protect our skies. Warm thanks from the UAE ❤❤
I told someone about this like 3 months ago that the US has many undisclosed weapons the world has never seen
exactly, a poker player never reveals their hand. That's how the US plays it.
Right, even some of the stuff we hear I'm like why are they disclosing this information. So hopefully there's even badder sh#* that no one but the military knows about 😊
@@Snk13_ty I hope so 🙏
You can cover a lot of technology that most people don't know exists if you read defense journals. They don't hide all the tech but it's just not going to be something you see on mainstream television. But there are some things in development which you will not have any access to
Hulk
U.S.A has weapons the public doesn't know about. Way beyond this presentation
Brainwashing took 😅
Sir, I wish those people would learn something. If they created THAAD in 2008 with a Mach speed of 8x the speed of sound. We are in 2022 , 14yrs later and people still think we are lagging behind in hypersonic and major defences!
psst
thaad cant defend against supersoic
Google top brass says no US air defence can stop modern Russian missiles , you are lagging well behind
@@pauldean8638 ok Paul because you know the USA. Ok Paul. But do us a favor research when hypersonic was created and in what year ok. Just don’t make yourself a clown. Read first
@@antixocialman you want first clown , first man in space , first moon walk , first satellite, first flying wing ( bic3 1929 ) fastest fighter . I don’t give a monkey what you think , Obama notice the lack of development in hypersonic as Russia surges ahead . If your air missile defence system is so great then why do top brass say they can’t defend against Russian missiles , we know this because yesterday Russia took two out . So who’s looking more of an idiot now . Where’s wingman in development? It’s 6 years behind hunters and hunters are twice the machine , go check the spec!
The f22 is so relevant it’s not made anymore . Russia lead the way in bvr missiles in range , yeah check out that ! . Russia defeated US stealth and so has China . US planes and NGAD ha ha ha ha ha , that’s a pipe dream that you can no way can do . The state of the US was evident the other day when your icbm missile launch failed badly ( the big show of what the US has ) ha ha ha ha. Have you seen Russian shock and awe show when they unleash Armageddon, US shock show looks like a poor garden party firework show . How many new missiles you got in service ? I can name 5 new Russian game changers . Satan 2 is just one 🤭 an that test went perfect . We can do this all day and you look more foolish
getting this with himars is the best xmas pressent ever
We had these before 2008. We used them in Iraq in 2007. I saw them with my own eyes coming from Camp Fallujah while at my combat outpost in Karmah.
2:40 that is a super useful diagram
I still can understand how we lagging behind supersonic missiles when THAAD back in 2008 will reach speeds of 8x the speed of sound let our enemies believe they ahead of the game 😉
the 8x speed of sound is the de-classified speed. as always the us military always undercuts the actual specs of everything to always stay ahead of everyone else. there's no telling how fast it really is. although there was a civilian video not long ago where a thaad was fired off 3 seconds after another 8x sos missile was fired off and the thaad over took the first missile even though it should be impossible for it to even catch up with the time delay.
The propulsion system of the kill vehicle is a liquid bi-propellant rocket divert and attitude control system. It uses mono-methyl hydrazine fuel and nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer which are pyrophoric (ignite on contact with each other). It was developed and produced by Aerojet-Rocketdyne for Lockheed Martin.
thanks tony
pppsshhh... like everyone already knew that Tony...
gaaa!
You're preaching to the choir...Tony.
What he said
Thaad is better than the overhyped, useless s-400.😂😂
"Interceptor uses kinetic energy to destroy missile"
Which I assume is science speech for "It thwaps it real good"
As you watch this video, every time you see a THAAD launching skyward, say: $12 million! One right after another - $12 million! $12 million! $12 million!
31 trillion in debt... something like that
Whats the alternative? Testing a system that doesnt work?
И самое главное эта система практиковалась на древних баллистических советских ракетах Skad 😂 60,70 годов) ну смешно же, она не то что межконтинентальную ракету не собьёт, по типу Сармат. Даже Искандер её легко обойдёт ) и это считается 1 армией мира и самой сильной, даже на свою безопасность хер положили. Вспомните китайские воздушные шары)

Awesome System.
Supper,wonderful, appreciated
Actual "defense" spending is always nice to see.
Great video
We for sure have this extended version already but will keep it classified for obvious reasons. We have things that would make your head spin but more importantly we don’t want to give our enemies a heads up just incase anything happens god forbid. We got the brains an the money to basically do whatever we want and that is just the way I like it. USA 🇺🇸!!!

Knowing how we be getting hacked our opps probably already know
Good point but I think 🤔 were hip to that stuff by now but anything is possible man.
at the same time you want your enemies to be informed enough that their attempts will be foiled, and then face hard retribution. otherwise they'll more likely press that launch button

Of course, the United States will not look at how intercontinental ballistic missiles are flying at America, US with the Ohio-class submarines, will destroy all enemy nuclear facilities (airfields, fleet, mines, hangars), otherwise what may remain will be intercepted with Aegis, THAAD and patriot

Gotta love THAAD. It's radar almost has a 5,000km range
to weak s500 is better
@@zlatko359 Please troll someone else. THAADs radar has almost a 5,000km range, and is why Russia and China accused South Korea of spying with it.
"The AN/TPY-2 Surveillance Transportable Radar, also called the Forward Based X-Band Transportable (FBX-T) is a long-range, very high-altitude active digital antenna array X band surveillance radar designed to add a tier to existing missile and air defence systems. It has a range of 2,900 mi (2,500 nmi; 4,700 km)"
"the deployment of THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defence), which China insists can be used to spy on its own missile programmes."
"First is China’s fear that THAAD could be used to intercept Chinese missiles and spy on its territory. Both the U.S. and South Korea have denied this by stating that THAAD will only be used against North Korea. "
"Russia has also denounced the deployment of THAAD in South Korea. As with China, it fears an increasingly U.S.-dependent South Korea and a stronger U.S. presence in the region that could undermine its security interests. Following the initial deployment of THAAD in May, Chinese and Russian foreign ministers Wang Yi and Sergey Lavrov met and agreed on their opposition both to THAAD deployment in South Korea, as well North Korea’s nuclear program."

What makes this system reliable is the unstoppable, accurate ICBM barrage that follows.
Lmao.. Your Wise.🥰💕🥰
THAAD system operate against MRBM, IRBM, threatre missile
against ICBM, little use
ICBM destroy is realm of SM-3 and GBI
SM-3 is nominally good at descent/terminal strike, but eeh capability. Still, so many shot, even if need take five missile shot... still dozens stored kills.
GBI is big question.
Massive missile, capable of shoot at midcourse and descent stage of strike.
Now, with enough missile anything possible. Punch through any shield, block any attack.
You lie to yourself, why can't you try it😊😊 try the nuclear war and see what will happen, you think China, Russia and North Korea are same as Japan you experimented your nuclear bomb?
@@richardboaz-mashagospel2346
Yes. But worse.
Because Japan was able to shoot at the planes. Now we can strike with impunity.
At some point the United States will be banned from war because everyone else will be considered an unarmed combatant against them.

Do you believe the whole of Korea, Russia and China ability to kill every American in a second can be disclosed in a website? Are damn...? Are you crazy? I am in Africa, an African but I do know the shot beyond Africa. Tell the grandpa Mr Biden to ignite a war with Russia today and I will sing **hallelujah** hahahhaa. I cant imagine just a jogging battle in Ukraine, i see how Americans are crying for jobs, food, shelter, clothes, health care, inflation, life is not easy in America......now you are flying to mexco and I can see many of you in Africa.. you are staving men....what if you begin a direct war with Russia I can imagine your propaganda changing into food😂😂. Russia is now fighting western Europe, America and other countries indirectly...not ukraine (mark that)! But when it fight only america, you will stop your crazy mentality seeded in you!
God bless our patriots and their family WW. For a righteousness battle is the Good vs Evil battle and as we all know, God Wins no matter what!
The US has various layers of defense including THAAD but they should be focusing on longer range interception vs the current terminal phase interception
I'm pretty sure Israel is focusing on that with their Arrow 3 interceptor that the US is sponsoring.
I agree, but that is an incredible undertaking that is also not a military priority.
@@BagelSammich
It should be as waiting till terminal phase is not a wise idea
@@verdebusterAP I think so too, but they're the ones doing it so I'm assuming they're doing it the way they are for a reason
I can tell you haven’t heard of the ground based midcourse defense system and the ground based interceptor.
wish the UK would purchase some of these.
Is it possible to deploy scramjet vehicles from airships?
Those could easily go around 20 times the speed of sound, and if you have ground-based antimissile defenses, having something in the air that can go just as fast or faster is helpful.
The other thing is it’s guidance system. We already have very good guidance systems, but adding artificial intelligence to help with course correction is also helpful
Excelente. Excelent 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
We need all of them here and now and any other weapons in space that would be awesome defensive lasers going off small nuke powerplant and solar wings that have great amounts of power to keep working on missles coming from different directions with AI controlling it but must get there okey from some before launch but if not I would want a way to terminate the missles because sometimes you might make a really bad mistake in what someone thought he saw but AI on a defensive ability and no way to be communicating with the missles at all times
Everyone of us are only guessing the real capabilities of this THAAD
Interesting.
Very good. But there is one question: If someone does saturation attacks with hollow missiles? What will the cost be?
Wouldn't it be possible to put a few SM-3s or SM-6s into a Truck and integrate it into the Aegis fire control system and you got the best SAM in the world?
Aegis Ashore.
You're trying to compare two missiles and an entire defence system. The two missiles aren't even trying to achieve the same thing. If you want an answer I would without a doubt say Aegis, but that's because Aegis comprises of the SM-3 Block IIA exo-atmospheric interceptor, the SM-6 high altitude endo-atmospheric interceptor and the SM-2 and ESSM terminal interceptors.
Wow Veryvery good
They should make a naval variant able to be launched from ships, these look like they could fit in a VLS system honestly
prob do for all we know
Aegis is based on boats.
I'm sure they have a lot worse than this on ships... I've only heard rumors though. I hope they do.
The navy uses SM 3 and SM 6
sm-3 block IB (800km range, 500km altitude of intercept) and sm-3 block IIA (2500km range, 1500km altitude)
Gadz... where do I know your voice from? It is so wonderfully unique! RedWheel??

for almost 1 century we have been doing amazing with new tech that noone had and it seems the last 20 years or so weve leveld off. seems like we arent much better anymore. i hope i am a totally wrong and they have some crazy stuff hiding and waiting.

WOW 😮
the missile luncher should have AI technology to launch missile on its own it can work with satellite in space to alert of a threat in space or ground threat
And then it will shoot down passenger planes on accident
THAAD is designed to be operated as a part of an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS). In addition to THAAD, you would also have Patriot missiles (PAC-3) and AEGIS warships using SM-3 missiles. All three systems can share targeting information. In this case, AEGIS controlled SM-3 missiles are the longest range, followed by THAAD and then PAC-3.
All three can engage up to IRBM range missiles, but the SM-3 is rumored to be capable of targeting the boost phase at enormous ranges (1000+ miles!!) THAAD and Patriots can only engage the terminal phase of the warhead, but at long (THAAD) or short (PAC-3) ranges.
Both THAAD and the SM-3 should be capable of intercepting ICBM’s as well
Its hard to adequately test these things because of the sheer cost of each test, but as an integrated unit they have been tested against small saturation attacks from a variety of missiles and was successful.
@@harrisonhari a hyper sonic nuclear missile coming down on its target from space travels way faster then a missile launched from the ground
Thats a good idea and actually th F35 can do all of the above. It can launch any weapon any wear because it is an AI plane. Read more from raytheon on it. It's a beautiful plane but it's more a flying computer

The best surprise gift is when the box is open. There are no cans of worms but only fireworks 🎆. This is a guaranteed!
THAAD = Terminal High Altitude Area Defense. The keyword is Terminal. ICBM can "effectively" stop only in the initial or middle flight path.
ENR enable long range
Mach 5 being minimum qualifier as "hypersonic" missile; since these have been Mach 8 for a while... Russian boasting of super-duper mega-magic indefensible hypersonic missiles, becomes toothless
What's the success rate for intercepting non-ICBM missiles for THAAD?
we could tell you but it's clssifi...wait its ok Donald declassified it but the National Archive is currently holding on to the docs ..can we get back to you later this century?
😁😁 "VOTE BLUE in 22"
Israel used THAAD for 3 months as a test run while developing its now iron dome system.. their success rate was 88-93% and that was in a much more target rich environment. Still one of the best in the world.

thnk god
the reason why they dont need long range missile systems its because that will be covered by Aircraft carrier strike group and nuclear submarine that why they deploy it to different parts of the world to cover a wider range Radar all of US defenses are interconnected to each other like those deploy on japan and Sokor also in Europe once china ang north korea lunch a ICBM it will be easily detected and shoot down by Aircraft carrier strike group or either there THAAD system installed in Japan + those F35 F22 and other multi role aricraft

@@evanmartz180 I forgot about the Sprints they were a great system.
The Nike X Sprint and Spartan plus the phased array radar systems developed by the US Army in the 1970s were way ahead of their time.

Timing beats speed anyday
@@gregr.1283 yes. If I can predict roughly where an missile is going, I do not need super fast object to send it on its way. computer can calculate very accurate these kind of things. at least in theory.
