THAAD – Precise Protection Against Ballistic Missiles

Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) is a military system developed in the United States to eliminate short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles during their terminal flight phase. This system operates based on advanced "hit-to-kill" technology – the missile does not have a warhead but destroys the target using kinetic energy, which allows it to neutralize threats even in the presence of nuclear or chemical warheads. THAAD has been used by the USA since the 1990s, and its strategic deployments – such as in South Korea, Japan, or the Middle East – make it one of the key elements of modern military anti-missile defense.
