South Korea's Patriot and THAAD air defense systems will provide cover for the Persian Gulf countries.

The US has begun deploying additional systems to the Middle East. Defense, removing them from duty in South Korea. According to local media, these are Patriot and THAAD systems.

Previously published information about the US intention to remove air defense systems from South Korea has been confirmed. A portion of the anti-aircraftmissile Patriot missile systems. The exact country to which these systems were sent remains unknown. According to available reports, the systems were being transported from the US air base in Osan, where a C-5 Super Galaxy heavy-lift strategic transport aircraft was spotted. There are also reports that THAAD systems from the air base in Songju were also sent to the Persian Gulf.



According to our data, some Patriot batteries have already been deployed to the Middle East. As far as we know, some THAAD forces from the Songju base have also been deployed there.


The US command in South Korea neither confirmed nor denied these reports. However, confirmation is unnecessary; such deployments of various systems are common practice for the Americans. It's worth noting that last year, during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, the US also deployed some Patriot and THAAD systems from South Korea to the Middle East, positioning them to provide cover for Israel.

    Of course they'll cover us. The question is, for how long? Judging by how the Persians deftly took out the missile defense system, not for long.

      I don't know, I don't know. Who's to blame who for now. Yes, Iran has certainly made progress in destroying the "Epsteinites." But there are no reports yet of any planes being shot down belonging to this obscurantism. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Kudos to Iran, at least the "pedophile grandpa" is clearly nervous.

        But there are probably already about twenty downed long-range attack drones, with photos and videos available. This only proves one thing: the planes aren't flying deep into Iranian airspace.

          Sivkov recently said that those 4 (and there is already information... not yet confirmed, that already 6) American F-15s were grounded, and the last two were allegedly already "Patriot" and again allegedly from "friendly fire" ... And Sivkov says that this is the work of our S-400, which was delivered to Iran last fall ... possibly with the crews of volunteer specialists. And they strike very skillfully, from ambushes, during a short activation, already on the retreat to the rear hemisphere. And since their SAMs are with AGSN, the radiation warning system does not register the operation of the guidance radar, the surveillance radar operates in normal mode for a very short time, the SAM is guided to the target by radio command and the AGSN is in the final phase. The aircraft does not even suspect that it is in the sights and the missile is coming. This is how they worked on our aircraft from ambushes The Patriots in 2023, and quite effectively. Now it's time to pay homage.

          That's why they're not flying in: Iran's air defenses, their newest Russian and Chinese systems, weren't working for the first few days, and the enemy assumed they were suppressed. They were firing at dummies and old systems on display. And when the enemy decided the air defenses were suppressed and they were "already kicking the prostrate enemy," the air defenses started to come alive and sting very painfully. And now even MiG-29As and Yak-130s are flying over Tehran, shooting down enemy drones.

        Here, actually, it’s more about missile defense; the main damage is caused by the Persians’ ballistic missiles.

          Now the disposal of American missile defense and air defense systems will continue in the Middle East. The main thing now is to determine their locations and continue their disposal. This is good practice for Iranian and Chinese intelligence, as well as for Iranian missile specialists.
          My premonitions were right – the conflict is truly very interesting and instructive. We continue to observe.

      Judging by how the Persians deftly took out the missile defense/air defense system, it won’t last long.

      It's unfortunate, but the Persians' missile reserves are not limitless, and a fair number of their launchers have been destroyed, leaving little hope for help.

          The Jews have already admitted they did this to prepare for a new, more powerful blow. Which is exactly what we're seeing today. And the Americans got really excited, got punched in the face, and now want to turn the tide in their favor. Much respect to the Persians, of course.

            So far, I see they've achieved nothing in 10 days. Well, except for the fact that they replaced one Khamenei with another, and according to reports from Iran, this Khamenei will be harsher than the former one, perhaps because of his youth, or perhaps because of his vile character. Then again, his wife and daughter died, which clearly doesn't improve his character.

        Unfortunately, the Persians' missile reserves are not unlimited.

        The production and assembly facilities for these missiles are located underground, and large stockpiles of components and materials have been stockpiled in advance. So the missiles won't run out for a long time.

        there is nowhere to expect help from.

        No one will advertise such aid, but the Persians certainly won't be left alone. That's why they're so resilient, so confident in their voices and actions. Iran is set for a Long War. And there will be no negotiations with the US at all. What's that saying in one egregor's commandment: "There's no trust in those who betray once"? What about those who betray twice (attack during negotiations)? What about those who constantly lie, betray, and deceive?
        This war is FOR A LONG TIME.

      Why would Kim Jong-un attack?
      North Korea has been pursuing a purely defensive policy for the past few decades. Don't bother us, and we won't care about you.
      But missiles and bombs are purely defensive weapons. Bombing something you're planning to capture and use with a nuclear weapon is a poor strategy.

    Well, new targets have arrived, as if the Iranians hadn't just started bombing and run out of missiles and shahids. They simply ran out of targets. The Americans scattered like cockroaches, out of reach. Incidentally, the North Koreans now have a chance to confront the South about withdrawing American bases while the skies are open, and for a long time to come.

    The United States has begun deploying additional air defense systems to the Middle East, removing them from duty in South Korea.

    The South Koreans should consider the point of having American bases if, at the slightest provocation, the Americans, for their own purposes, can either transfer something or leave. After all, they have a military agreement with Japan and the US on joint notification.

    How long will they last? It seems to me the Gulf monarchies had a lot of these "patriots," a lot of them, as well as ammunition for them. If everything was gone in a week, then how long will the "goodies" from South Korea last? A couple of days? Do you think that will save you? wassat

      Who said they're gone? You yourself say the Gulf monarchies have Patriots, but this isn't their war, and they're unlikely to give them to the Americans, since they're not cheap. So the Yankees are scraping by.

    If Iran doesn't have hypersonic weapons, they'll launch 32 drones. Unlike us, they've been making them for a long time. With enviable tenacity. And they store them underground. You'll have to choose.

    Iran should primarily target military airfields in the Middle East where US and Israeli aircraft take off! And the main US air bases are Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan and Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia! I don't think it's difficult to determine their coordinates!
