Lockheed makes a mobile system called THAAD. I doubt there were any deployed in Iraq, and the effectiveness of these are dubious. The Russians put the S400 in Syria and it has performed well enough. These act more like a deterrent than an actual viable defensive grid.
- mcguire 7y agoTHAAD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_High_Altitude_Area_Defense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_High_Altitude_Area_De...) is a bit of a big deal in Huntsville. I'm kind of surprised it's not deployed in the Middle East, although I suppose it wouldn't be much of a deterrent if it isn't shown to work better than it did in testing.
