American general spoke about the transfer of additional air defense systems to Iraq

The head of the US Central Command, Lieutenant General Kenneth Mackenzie, made a statement after a missile strike was launched on the American base of Taji in Iraq. Recall that 18 missiles were fired at an American military facility - from installations in the back of trucks. The attack killed two US troops and one British. At least 10 soldiers and officers were injured.

According to Mackenzie, the United States will deploy additional anti-aircraft missile defense equipment to Iraq.

From the statement of the American general:

We are starting to deploy additional air defense systems to Iraq in order to protect our troops from those rocket attacks carried out by forces controlled by Iran. We will take all measures so that nothing like what happened today repeats itself.

The American systems currently located in Iraq have been shown to be ineffective. Missiles and missiles break through the air defense missile defense built around American military facilities without much difficulty. Moreover, this is not the first time that US bases become targets of shelling. Earlier, losses among the US military as a result of the attacks were not mentioned.

The US military command previously decided to launch air strikes on the positions and infrastructure of the Shiite militia Al-Hashd al-Shaabi in the area of ​​the border with the Syrian Arab Republic. The results of the bombing are not currently officially reported.

Against the fact that they were fired at in Taji, Iron Dome is needed, and the Pentagon refused to buy it.
And generally speaking. Wrong way, guys. It’s time to leave, and you are catching the crowd.

I was told that the Americans have problems in object-based air defense.
What would be brought to Iraq in this case?
Patriots?

[Mytholog]

The Avengers in jeeps, most likely. Against self-made analogs of "Katyusha" - "Patriot" will be an overkill.

Effective thing? Already applied?

The same "Stingers", only on wheels.

They won't help. You need something like C-RAM "Centurion".

[Kapkan]

It turns out that these things were effective, you must constantly sit, apparently in shifts, in a small booth as a crane operator .... Otherwise, this system is useless. So it turns out?

SAM Avanger uses SAM Stinger with a speed of up to 750 m / s. ineffective against POTC type Point because speed 1000-1100 m / s.

They are strange, in order to protect the servicemen, you need to remove them from Iraq as the Iraqi parliament decided and remove them from Syria. And additional air defense will not help. The assassination of Soleimani will now "haunt" the Americans for a long time. And everyone will see that the Americans cannot protect their own air defense bases, where they have to protect entire states from modern missile weapons, and not from home-made missiles. PS I wonder how they would oppose self-made drones, with which they are unsuccessfully trying to knock down the Russian base in Syria through their "barmaley"

Hi
Everything is correct, it will say one thing, confirm, implement, where they can really check from the side, you stated there, but you did ... The situation!

[cniza]

But now all their "effectiveness", as they say on the review ...

[rocket757]

To wave a club again and again, that they can and will be!
Vaughn again on the "liberated" territory of the former allies bombed!
The versatile guys are these Yankees, multidirectional ... but still only in their own direction.

[cniza]

Missiles and missiles easily break through the anti-aircraft missile defense built around American military installations.

NATO countries keep buying these systems ...

We are starting to deploy additional air defense systems to Iraq

Where it is thin, there it breaks. Have they believed for so many years that they are loved and strived for "democracy" in the American manner in Iraq?
