Theater Ballistic Missiles are not a thing the Pongos or Grunts are going to handle, without their Air Defense batteries being equipped with fancy kit, which I think is the point Pukin Dog was making.
A follow up from the attempted TBM strike a few days ago: space intercept.
The Israel Defense (IDF) revealed last week that its Arrow missile defense system took down an 'aerial threat' allegedly fired by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. While details are sparse, the accepted boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space is 62 miles above the surface, known as the Kármán line. IDF said the Arrow intercepted a surface-to-surface missile in the Red Sea fired towards its territory after the rocket traveled nearly 1,000 miles from Yemen. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed it was the third attack the group had launched at Israel and vowed there would be more to come until 'Israeli aggression' stopped, referring to the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip
