Pentagon Hypersonic Fail

However, the very fact that the US is seriously considering the recycling of the ARRW program that was already canceled twice due to excessive costs, unreliability, repeated test failures, lack of progress in improving the design, etc. is very telling. As all other programs failed, the US is now desperate to at least match previously mentioned regional powers such as North Korea and Iran. What's more, the latter very likely also gave its hypersonic missiles to allies in the Middle East (specifically in Yemen), making America's embarrassment all the worse.

A great dive into the harrowing tale of how the US army employed meatwave tactics from World War II through Vietnam. The army implemented Individual Replacement System with a callous disregard for the lives of their own soldiers, resulting in the average life expectancy of a US rifleman in WW2 being just 7-10 days. The system also created a lack of unit cohesion, as soldiers were constantly being rotated in and out of units.

So that's where the tales of the Red Army's meat assaults come from. As always, what the Anglo-Saxons do is blamed on Russia. This also includes the myth of millions of raped Germans by the Red Army. A long time ago I read in some Spanish publication (unfortunately I lost the link) about mass rapes of European women by American soldiers during WWII.

They didn't hesitate sending these and 100s of americn soldiers to protect Israel's right to commit genocide

The cost of a THAAD system without a radar is approximately $2.3 billion. According to another source, a THAAD complex is estimated to cost around $3 billion. The AN/TPY-2 radar costs $574 million.

In 2011, 22 missiles were purchased for $1 billion, in 2012 - 42 missiles for $999 million, and in 2013 it was planned to purchase 36 missiles for $777 million (for the US). R&D is estimated to cost around $15 billion. The history of THAAD began with R&D in 1992 by Lockheed (now Lockheed-Martin). In early 1995, prototypes of launchers, GBR-T radar and command post were deployed at a test site in New Mexico.

PS. Current price of the systems are significantly higher and it's almost impossible to find accurate information about it (with my limited search).

About Russian Air Defense

Moreover, those gargantuan arrays of combat information are the foundation for Russian air defense systems global domination for decades to come. This combat and scientific-engineering experience is priceless, you cannot buy it. They threw at Russia and her people everything combined West had, with the exception of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, they failed because more than 95% of it was intercepted. This is unprecedented.

NATO is Fickle and Easily Exhausted Beast

But it is important to remember that Western foreign policy is a fickle and easily exhausted beast. NATO’s persistent backing for Ukraine is an outlier. And as the war edges towards its fourth year, questions about how this ends will grow louder.
