In recent times, the ongoing wars between Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Palestine and Israel-Lebanon have brought about a significant change in defense strategy. During this time it has become clear that one of the most dangerous threats facing any country is air attacks, which can devastate vast areas.
Military investment in air defense systems has increased rapidly in the last few years around the world. Air defense systems work to detect, track and intercept attacking aircraft or missiles. These systems neutralize air threats before they cause damage. In such a situation, they are needed to protect military assets, infrastructure and civilian areas from air attacks. In recent times, the world has seen the importance of air defense during the attacks by Israel and Iran on each other. We are telling you which are the five countries of the world that have the best anti-aircraft missile system.
Chinese HQ-9
The Chinese HQ-9 is a long-range anti-aircraft missile system, considered one of the best air defense systems in the world. The HQ-9 is designed to shoot down enemy aircraft, cruise missiles, air-to-surface missiles, ballistic missiles and helicopters at all operational altitudes. The system operates both day and night in all weather conditions.
America's SAM MIM-104 Patriot
Patriot (MIM-104) is the name of a phased array tracking radar for intercepting targets. It is an all-weather system. It has been designed by the US to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and fighter aircraft. It was added to the US Army's arsenal in 1974. This system can detect 100 missiles simultaneously.
The list of top air defense also includes the SAMP-T complex (Eurosam) of France and Italy. This missile system has been jointly developed by France and Italy. It is designed for use in all weather conditions. It can overcome intense jamming and obstructions of the enemy. SAAM (PAAMS) naval SAM systems are deployed on French and Italian naval ships.
Defense System of Israel and Russia
The Israeli SAM or GTAM David's Sling is a long-range air and missile defense system. It is built with the help of the US. It is a multi-layered defensive system. It represents the next generation of Israeli missile systems, intended to replace the MIM-23 Hawk and MIM-104 Patriot in Israel's arsenal.
India has also acquired Russia's S-400 defense system. S-400 Triumph Triumph is a mobile, surface-to-air missile system. It represents the fourth generation of long-range Russian SAMs. It is an advanced form of Russia's S-200 and S-300 air defense systems. Russia is using it in the Ukraine war.
