Скачать или смотреть How Iran Knocked Out America’s $2.7B Early-Warning Radars in Days?

Iran destroys $2.7 billion worth of U.S. radar systems during the first week of war, raising serious questions about the future of missile defense in the Middle East.

In this video, we break down how Iranian missile and drone strikes targeted some of the most advanced radar systems in the world, including the AN/FPS-132 ballistic missile early-warning radar and two AN/TPY-2 X-band radars from the THAAD missile defense system.

These radars are the backbone of America’s missile detection network. The AN/FPS-132 alone can detect ballistic missile launches up to 5,000 kilometers away and track hundreds of targets simultaneously. Each installation costs around $1.1 billion and takes 5–8 years to replace.

Meanwhile, the AN/TPY-2 radar, which powers the THAAD missile defense system, is one of the most sensitive missile-tracking radars ever built. Only around 15 exist worldwide, and losing even one significantly weakens defensive coverage.

The strikes highlight a growing reality in modern warfare: cheap drones and missiles can destroy extremely expensive defense infrastructure. Iran reportedly used large numbers of low-cost attack drones and ballistic missiles to overwhelm regional defenses.

At the same time, defending against these attacks is extremely expensive. During previous engagements, THAAD systems fired more than 150 interceptors, each costing around $15.5 million, resulting in over $2.3 billion in missile defense costs in just days.

In this video we explain:

• How Iran targeted high-value radar systems
• Why these radars are critical for missile defense
• The real cost of defending against missile attacks
• How drones are changing modern warfare
• What this means for U.S. military strategy in the Middle East

As missile and drone technologies spread rapidly, the balance between offensive weapons and defensive systems is shifting. Understanding this radar war helps explain how future conflicts could unfold.

Watch until the end to see how the destruction of a few radar systems could reshape the entire regional missile defense network.
