He has no idea what is spouting. Its just an IRBM which the Patriot Battery is designed to take out in its terminal stage. If not that then THAAD will do the trick.
Ok Baghdad Bob.... The Russians gave NATO and the U.S. a 30 minute warning before firing the missile and the missile took 15 minutes to fly in from Kazakhstan. That means NATO, the U.S. and the Ukraine had 45 minutes to figure out a way to shoot it down and couldn't.
Please explain why they didn't shoot down the missile even with a heads up of 30 minutes. If you can!
The THAAD is designed to intercept IRBMs. It has a higher and wider engagement basket than the Patriot and I suspect that in a pinch it could intercept ICBM RVs that are closer to target. Once IRBM or ICBM RVs get within a couple dozen miles of target they will have slowed down to ~Mach 4-5 and will be on essentially ballistic trajectories.
