Did you just say Iran has better missiles than the US? In what fantasy world are you living in?
Edit:iraq = iran
The USA doesn’t have jinking hypersonic missiles. Iran does. So, jot that down.
Honest question, but anti missile defenses don’t really work (see iron dome) against traditional missiles and there is no effective way to defend against ICBMs. So what’s the value of a low flying, fast missile that can’t be shot down compared to a high flying, slow missile that is cheaper and also can’t really be shot down?
I would say western anti missile defenses don’t really work because their chief opponents have superior weapons. ICBMs can be intercepted, because their terminal path is predictable although fast. Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea all have hypersonic weapons that have the capacity to make significant trajectory alterations at hypersonic speeds in their terminal path. They cannot be intercepted.
You’re right, America is super comfortable pretending to not have capabilities they actually have that other countries definitely have. All the very public reports about America’s failures in jinking hypersonics and the exchange of the contracts for those jinking hypersonics to some no-name Australian company are for sure just a trick to hide that they definitely have this weapon that being public about would serve as a de-escalatory tool for dominance. You’re for sure not an enormous stupid baby who believes in technical superiority that isn’t real, and you’re definitely not just a very mad and dumb western moron.
