The deployment of advanced systems like THAAD in Ukraine raises important questions about their effectiveness against Russian hypersonic missiles like the Oreshnik. Ukraine’s current reliance on NATO’s defense systems has been crucial but insufficient in countering threats such as the recent hypersonic strike on Dnipro. THAAD, designed to intercept ballistic missiles during their terminal phase, offers advantages with its advanced radar, interceptors, and ability to differentiate between decoys and warheads. However, its effectiveness against maneuverable hypersonic threats like Oreshnik is debatable, as the latter's speed and unpredictability exceed traditional missile defense capabilities. While systems like the S-300 and PAC-3 MSE provide layered defenses, both have vulnerabilities demonstrated by recent Russian strikes. A coordinated strategy involving multiple systems and possible integration of AI is essential to improve Ukraine's defense against evolving missile threats.
