The US Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency announced on the 11th that the US military's test of using the "Sade" anti-missile system to intercept medium-range ballistic missiles was successful. This is the 14th successful interception of the "Sade" anti-missile system in 14 tests, and it is the first time the system has tested intercepting medium-range ballistic missiles.
The US Air Force C-17 transport aircraft fired a simulated medium-range ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean in northern Hawaii.
The US Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency issued a statement saying that a US Air Force C-17 transport aircraft fired a simulated medium-range ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean in northern Hawaii that day, and the "Sade" anti-missile system in Kodiak, Alaska. The missile was monitored, tracked and intercepted.
The Missile Defense Agency said in a statement that the successful demonstration of the "Sade" anti-missile system to deal with the medium-range ballistic missile threat will enhance the US defense ability against North Korea and other countries' missile threats, and help build a broader strategic deterrent. . The Director of the Missile Defense Agency, Sam Greaves, said that the test of the day further demonstrated the potential of the "Sade" anti-missile system and its ability to intercept and eliminate ballistic missile threats. The "Sade" anti-missile system will continue to protect the American people, the military and allies from growing real threats.
"Sade" anti-missile system successfully tested intercepting medium-range ballistic missiles
However, Reuters quoted US Defense Department officials as saying that the "Sade" anti-missile system test intercepted medium-range ballistic missiles was planned a few months ago. A US Department of Defense official told CNN that the test was not related to North Korea’s recent intercontinental ballistic missile test.
In May of this year, the US military successfully implemented the first intercontinental ballistic missile interception test. Subsequently, the US Department of Defense's latest assessment believes that the United States is now capable of defending intercontinental ballistic missiles.
