Bloomberg, citing a US official, reported that Iran has destroyed a $300 million radar system in Jordan that was crucial for operating the United States’ missile defense network in the Gulf region. The radar, part of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, was located at Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. Satellite imagery analyzed by CNN showed that the RTX Corporation’s AN/TPY-2 radar, along with its batteries and support equipment, was destroyed early in the conflict. A US official later confirmed the destruction of the equipment.
According to Bloomberg, the United States operates eight THAAD missile defense systems worldwide, including in South Korea and Guam. The Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates that each THAAD battery costs about one billion dollars, with roughly $300 million allocated for the radar component. The loss of the radar could weaken the region’s ability to counter future attacks, as it played a key role in the US missile defense network.
