👉 The missiles mentioned are part of the U.S. military's extensive missile defense and offensive arsenal, including the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, which intercepts short- and medium-range ballistic missiles; the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) system, a ground-based missile defense network that can target incoming missiles at various altitudes and ranges; and the Standard Missile-6 (SM-6), a long-range cruise missile designed to intercept hypersonic threats. Additionally, the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, though not a single missile, encompasses a network of interceptors positioned to defend against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during their midcourse phase. These systems collectively aim to detect, track, and neutralize a wide array of missile threats.
