What are THAAD and Patriot missiles and why does US value them so much

 Global demand for THAAD and Patriot interceptors is high due to ongoing conflicts. These systems are crucial for defending against ballistic missile threats in Ukraine and West Asia. The United States relies on these interceptors for its island defense strategy against China. Sustained conflicts are depleting existing stockpiles of these vital defense systems. Increased production is underway to meet these growing global and strategic demands. Global demand for THAAD and Patriot interceptors is high due to ongoing conflicts.
