UAE / JORDAN / WASHINGTON — Satellite imagery ne confirm kar diya hai jo Iran ka sabse bada military dawa tha: Iran ne America ka sabse expensive aur advanced missile defense system—THAAD—UAE aur Jordan mein tabah kar diya hai. CNN ke independent analysis aur Airbus Defence & Space ki images ne is tabahi ki tasveer saaf kar di hai.
THAAD Kya Hai — Samjho:Terminal High Altitude Area Defense:
Ye America ka sabse advanced anti-ballistic missile system hai. Price: Ek battery ki qeemat $1 billion se zyada hai
AN/TPY-2 Radar: Ye THAAD ka “dil” hota hai, jiski qeemat $300-$500 million hai.
Limited Supply: Poore America ke paas aisi sirf 8 THAAD batteries hain.
Kya Hua — CNN Confirmed:
Jordan (Muwaffaq Salti Air Base): March 2 ki satellite image mein AN/TPY-2 radar poori tarah jala hua aur tabah dikh raha hai. Wahan 13 feet diameter ke do bade craters (gadde) nazar aa rahe hain.
UAE (Al Ruwais & Al Sader): Al Ruwais mein THAAD radar buildings hit hui hain aur Al Sader mein 4 buildings struck hui hain. $500 million ke radar system ko nuksan pahunchne ka andesha hai.
Qatar (Al Udeid Air Base): Iran ne war ke pehle din hi yahan ka $1.1 Billion ka early warning radar hit kar diya tha, jo US defense ka “nervous system” mana jata hai.
Strategic Matlab Kya Hai:
Gaps in Missile Defense: Is nuksan se high-altitude surveillance mein ek “significant gap” paida ho gaya hai.
2- Iran Ki Strategy: Iran sirf missiles nahi daag raha, balki America ki detection capabilities (dekhne ki kshamta) ko degrade kar raha hai.
3 – South Korea Effect: Jordan mein radar tabah hone ke baad US ne South Korea se THAAD relocate karna shuru kar diya hai, jisse wahan ki defense bhi kamzor ho gayi hai.
TWU Assessment: Ek taraf Trump keh rahe hain ki hum Iran ko barbaad kar denge, lekin reality ye hai ki Iran ne sirf 15 dinon mein US missile defense ko $1.9 Billion se zyada ka nuksan pahunchaya hai.
