President Obama pledged to "
cut investments in unproven missile defense systems".
They didn't get the memo: (
be sure to follow the link for a full debunking of critical assertions)
"...this remarkably operationally realistic THAAD test goes a long way in
defanging missile defense skeptics. Combine it with other BMD test
successes and it becomes extremely difficult for critics to utilize the
stale, knee-jerk arguments they've lazily relied on for the past 20
years."
More proof of the "
unproven" technology
here. And
here. And
here. There have been
19 successful tests of the system (out of twenty three attempts) since 2002, an over 82% success rate - on an "unproven" system.
