Saudi Arabia’s Air Defense Forces announced the inauguration of its first battery in the US THAAD missile defense system on X/Twitter on Thursday.
The system was inaugurated after it was tested, inspected, and field training was completed by the appointed personnel within the Kingdom’s territories, Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry said.
The battery was reportedly purchased in a $15 billion deal with US President Donald Trump during his first term, which included an additional six THAAD batteries, 44 launchers, and 360 interceptors.
