> The more interesting thing however is that the US SAMs failed once again to intercept the SRBMs. If really US air defences can't intercept SRBMs reliably, the US Navy is in gigantic, perhaps even existential, trouble. I don't know if it shows a failure. Were there even appropriate air defenses in range? Edit for more info: If the launch location is as mentioned in a Twitter thread [0] then there's approximately 165 miles for the missile to travel. If the nearest US air defenses are in, say, Kuwait, that's over 500 miles to travel to intercept. I don't know where the US has their air defenses currently.
