Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is an advanced American anti-ballistic missile system designed to intercept fast-moving ballistic missiles at high altitudes. Often deployed alongside Patriot systems as part of U.S. counter-drone and regional defense strategies, it is noted for its high technological capability but limited annual production capacity. Recent developments include its relocation to the Middle East and reports of damage sustained during ongoing regional conflicts.
