“This is one of America’s most advanced radar systems — the AN/FPS-132.
It’s a long-range early warning radar,
capable of detecting ballistic missiles from thousands of kilometers away.
Reports suggest that during a recent attack scenario,
Iran launched multiple missiles and drones —
but only a small number were able to reach their targets.
Why?
Because systems like AN/FPS-132, combined with missile defense networks like THAAD and Patriot,
can detect, track, and help intercept incoming threats.
This radar has a range of up to 5,000 km,
allowing it to track missiles even before they enter regional airspace.
Deployed in strategic locations like Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar,
it plays a critical role in Middle East security.
In simple terms:
Detect early → Track accurately → Intercept quickly.
That’s how modern air defense works.” #india
